Harry Potter Gala Premiere
WARNING: This isn’t a really spoilerific post for the movie. I ain’t telling what’s happening that isn’t in the trailers.
The gala premiere for Singapore was on the 15th July, Shaw Lido at around 7.30pm in the evening. Of course I arrived much earlier for it to check out the location.
Oooh, they definitely are reserving all the movie theaters just for this gala premiere.
Yes, it was totally official and all.
