Deathly Hallows: Harry Potter cast at world premiere

Thousands of Harry Potter fans braved cold winds and heavy showers to see their favourite stars at the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Some camped out for two nights to make sure they grabbed a good spot by the red carpet before the cast started arriving at London's Leicester Square.
As well as Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, there were loads of celebrity Potter fans there too, including the latest X Factor contestants and Tom and Harry from McFly.
We sent Ricky to the red carpet to check it out and get all the gossip from the stars - including CBBC's Hacker T Dog!!
