In between the action of Transformers, and the screams over New Moon, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits theaters around the country on July 15.

The film is the sixth installment in this wildly popular franchise, and fans have been waiting awhile for it.

Originally scheduled for a December 2008 release, the movie was pushed back seven months. It's received nothing but praise from critics, however, and we're sure viewers will be quick to forgive once Harry and company appear on screen.

The cast, led by Daniel Radcliffe, endured a torrential downpour in London earlier this week for the world premiere.

But when you've battled Lord Voldemort - and/or the swine flu, as Rupert Grint recently suffered through - what's a little rain? Click on the photos below to enlarge shots of the cast at the event:

Swine flu is no match for a boy wizard.

Rupert Grint, best known as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movie franchise, caught the evil virus late last week, but ought to be well enough to attend Tuesday's London premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

"It has just been confirmed that Rupert Grint has taken a few days out of filming due to a mild bout of swine flu," said his rep. "He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members at the junket and premieres this week and will then return to filming directly afterwards."

In other Harry Potter new, Emma Watson is featured in the latest issue of UK Elle.
