A tearful JK Rowling said "thank you" to thousands of Harry Potter fans who packed London's Trafalgar Square on Thursday at the world premiere of the final film.
Despite torrential rain earlier, the sun shone down as stars of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II spent more than three hours signing autographs.
Daniel Radcliffe, who has played the boy wizard since he was 11, told fans the films would be with them "for the rest of their lives".
Speaking from a stage next to Nelson's column, Potter creator Rowling thanked the actors for "the amazing things they did for my favourite characters".

Turning to the fans, she said: "Thank you for queuing up for the books for all those years, for camping out in a wet Trafalgar Square."
Fans back chanted "Thank you!" and Rowling said: "No, no, I'm already crying."
Radcliffe, who had earlier flown in from New York, said that Harry's story would never end.
"Each and every person, not just here in this square but around the world who have watched these films for the last 10 years, they will always carry the films with them for the rest of their lives," he told fans.
