HARRY POTTER fans in Watford and Three Rivers could see the film earlier than the general release date as a Harry Potter charity premiere was described this week as "99 per cent certain" to go ahead.
The screening would raise money for Three Rivers District Council chairman Geoff Emery's charities Diabetes UK and the Rickmansworth and Chorleywood Division of the St John Ambulance.
This week a spokesman for the council said the screening now looks likely to go ahead.
The date has yet to be confirmed but it is expected to be held between the world premiere and the general release date, possibly next weekend.
Watersmeet Theatre in High Street, Rickmansworth, and the Warner Village in Garston have been mooted as possible venues.
The spokesman said: "We would ask that members of the public do not contact the council or Watersmeet for tickets until arrangements have been confirmed."
