Fans Brave Rain for U.K. Goblet of Fire Premier
Harry Potter fans stood for hours in the driving rain on Sunday to catch a glimpse of the stars at the Goblet of Fire world premiere in London.
The stars, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, spent ages meeting fans and signing autographs.
Harry actor Daniel said: "It doesn't get any less bizarre. I seem to be coping ever so slightly better this year but it's marginal."
Sadly JK Rowling couldn't make the premiere as her husband is ill.
Daniel Radcliffe also told CBBC Newsround that he was starting work on a new film project in December - a movie called December Boys, which he said he was "incredibly excited" about.
Rupert Grint told us what he thought of the crazy premiere: "It's quite hard to get used to they are quite strange but they're fun as well," he said. "In a weird way it is quite strange, even getting recognised is quite weird, but everyone's always really nice."
And Emma Watson added: "I think there's a huge number of people here which is amazing. They just get bigger and bigger every year.
"This is the world premiere and it's big and brilliant and fantastic."
Most of the new cast members were there too, including Katie Leung, who plays Harry's love interest Cho Chang in this movie. She was joined by Clemence Poesy, who plays Fleur Delacour, Stanislav Ianevski, who plays Viktor Krum, and Robert Pattinson, who is Cedric Diggory.
The adult stars were out in force too, such as Dame Maggie Smith, who plays Professor McGonagall, Robbie Coltrane who's Hagrid, Timothy Spall, who is the evil Peter Pettigrew, and new Doctor Who actor David Tennant, who portrays Barty Crouch Junior in Goblet.
And the crowd went wild when the surprise guest star of the night turned up - Madonna with her daughter Lourdes, who's a big Harry Potter fan.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is released in the UK on 18 November and has been given a 12A rating.

J.K. Loves Goblet of Fire Movie
JK Rowling wasn't at the Harry Potter premiere because of family illness - but Goblet of Fire was screened for her last week and apparently she loved it!
The producer, David Heyman, told CBBC Newsround: "She gave me a long list of things that she loved and said the films were getting better and better."
The film's director has also revealed details of what to expect from the DVD. Mike Newell said: "Jarvis Cocker and Radiohead play songs which are short in the film, but are in full on the DVD."
He added: "I've done a director's commentary, of course."
David also revealed: "There will be some deleted scenes, how we did certain things, how the effects were done and behind the scenes interviews - probably greater access that we've ever had before."
Asked whether there might be new DVDs of the previous films with commentaries by the other directors, he said: "I think that is something we can look forward to in years to come.
"I don't think it will happen right away, but Chris [Columbus] is very keen and so is Alfonso [Cuaron]."
David is also hard at work on the next film - The Order of the Phoenix.
He said: "We start filming in February. [Director] David Yates has already done a pass through of the entire film in storyboards. He brings a real sensitivity and humanity to the film.
"Luna is a key part. She's someone who's unconventional, a little eccentric, but utterly charming and irrestible.
"Grawp will be a fully digital character, giving him humanity is really important. There's some wonderful stuff with Grawp in the script. I'm really excited about that."
JK Rowling is also being a huge help to the production.
David explained: "In the fifth film we have the Black Family Tapestry. In the book there's a bit of information. But in the film we need to fill that out, and she'll provide us with that information."
He added that - after weeks of speculation that the movie might be filmed abroad - it's definitely being made in the UK.
"We were exploring all the options," he said. "These are expensive films. Ultimately, I'm thrilled we're staying here in Britain."

Down to Final 5 for Potter's Luna
Over the past few weeks, producers have been visiting schools across the country searching for someone to play Luna Lovegood in the fifth movie.
At Sunday's premiere, producer David Heyman told CBBC Newsround Online that the search was nearly over.
They are now choosing from a shortlist of five hopefuls.
"We've narrowed it down to a handful of people for Luna," he said. "I haven't seen them though. [Director] David Yates has been doing the casting."
It's believed that following on from the school search along with applications sent in to the studios, there have been a number of casting sessions and workshops in London with girls being considered for the part.
David Heyman also confirmed that they had specific people in mind for other parts in the movie. Imelda Staunton is at the "forefront of the search" for someone to play Professor Umbridge.
And two actors are in talks to play Kingsley Shacklebolt and Tonks. Anna Friel, the partner of Lupin actor David Thewlis, has been rumoured to be in line for the role of Tonks, but David Heyman said that she definitely wasn't being considered for the part.
Filming on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will begin in February 2006.
