The British have many national treasures...and Harry Potter is definitely one of them. All week long newscasters have been talking about the World Premier of the final film taking place here in London tonight. For the Premier, a red carpet starts in Trafalgar Square, wraps itself around the National Gallery and ends at one of the cinemas in Leicester Square (the length is probably 2-3 football fields long). Also, a gate was erected around the whole square, and organizers were handing out around 3000 wristbands to people letting them into this gated area. What is crazy is that people have been camping out in the square since Monday, in hopes to get a wristband.
No, I didn't get a wristband...I managed to make my way up to the National Gallery to take these pictures :-)
Wow.........and to sit/stand in the rain. No wristband is worth that much.
