London premiere of last Harry Potter film to be livecast on YouTube

On July 7, YouTube will be live streaming the red carpet premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 from Trafalgar Square in London. Many famous faces are expected to appear at the event, including author J.K. Rowling, Emma Watson who plays Hermione, Rupert Grint of Ron Weasley fame, and Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe. The livecast will be reaired immediately after it is done so those with time zone differences can watch. The stream begins at 8 a.m. Pacific/11 a.m. Eastern/4 p.m. British Summer Time.

You can watch the event on YouTube's official Harry Potter Channel. If you go there now, you'll see a countdown clock and be able to watch the most recent trailers for the film, read the official Twitter feed or enter a sweepstakes to be at the London premiere.

Can't wait for the final film's July 15th premiere? There are plenty of Potter-themed distractions for you to indulge in from watching the early movies on YouTube or Facebook as well as ABC Family's upcoming Harry Potter Weekend to downloading the Harry Potter Wand app and dueling your friends.

Unfortunately, we'll have to wait even longer, October to be exact, before we learn the full scope of what the newly announced Pottermore site has to offer for fans who want to continue their passion for all things Harry Potter.
