HARRY POTTER L.A. Premiere Pix

HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE had its Los Angeles premiere on November 14th in Westwood at the Mann Village Theatre.


This was the third premiere Warner Bros. decided to hold honoring the film that might just beat the box office records of E.T. and/or TITANIC. The first premiere was in London with the cast, then New York and finally L.A. Although none of the film's cast was on hand to attend the event, many other stars and their families did.


Seen walking the red carpet were Shannon Doherty (ex-CHARMED one), Tim Allen, Priscilla Presley, Don Johnson (NASH BRIDGES) and family, Michelle Trachtenberg (BUFFY), Matthew Perry (FRIENDS) with his brother Will, John Schneider (SMALLVILLE) with his daughter Karis who told me that she had met Tom Welling and thought he was cute, "but, shhh, don't tell him or my dad" and many others.


The movie is, of course, based on the first of J.K. Rowling's popular children's novels about Harry Potter. If you haven't read the book series, the film tells the story of a boy who learns on his 11th birthday that he is the orphaned son of two powerful wizards and possesses unique magical powers of his own. Invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. At Hogwarts, he finds the home and the family he has never had.


Harry Potter is rated PR by the MPAA. Check out more here or on http://www.harrypottermovie.com.
