A statue of Harry Potter, flying a Nimbus 2000 broom over the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch, was unveiled on Wednesday in London’s Leicester Square.
The bronze statue, which reveals Potter, performed by Daniel Radcliffe, is only a few steps from the place the movie “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” had its world movie premiere in November 2001.
“Harry Potter is hugely important to literature, theatre and, of course, to film,” mentioned Ros Morgan, chief govt at Heart of London Business Alliance.
‘We know there are fans of Harry Potter of all ages all around the world and we look forward to welcoming them to the West End and Leicester Square, whenever that will be’
“We know there are fans of Harry Potter of all ages all around the world and we look forward to welcoming them to the West End and Leicester Square, whenever that will be.”
Potter joins different movie icons together with Laurel & Hardy, Mary Poppins, Mr. Bean and Paddington as a part of ‘Scenes in the Square’, an interactive movie path in Leicester Square. Some younger followers have been enthralled.
“I love Harry Potter and have been posing for photos pretending to play Quidditch with the statue all morning,” mentioned Finn Bruce, aged 10. “I love coming into London and I’m happy Harry is here now too.”
