LONDON - The stars of the sixth Harry Potter film were set to walk up the red carpet in London on Tuesday for the world premiere after one of the actors recovered from a bout of swine flu.
Hundreds of fans had gathered in London's Leicester Square despite the rain hours before the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." The pre-release buzz suggests the film will add a sizeable chunk to the $4.5 billion already earned by the Potter movie franchise.
It goes on public release in Europe on July 15, and in the United States and Japan two days later, after being moved back from its original release date of November 2008.
Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, will attend the premiere after making a swift recovery from a mild case of swine flu last week.
He told journalists on Monday: "It was quite scary when I first found out I had swine flu. I thought 'Am I going to die?' But it was just like any other flu really. Grint will take his place alongside co-stars Daniel Radcliffe, who is the bespectacled Harry, and Emma Watson, better known to fans as the swotty Hermione Granger.
The trio have appeared in all eight films so far, after being plucked from obscurity to spend nearly half their lives on the set or preparing for the big screen versions of the popular J.K. Rowling books.
After the red-carpet spectacular, the actors will return to the ongoing filming of the final two movies in the series the concluding book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Harrows" was thought too plot-heavy for just one film.
