It was brollies, waterproof macs, supermarket bags over the head and general winter clothing at the Leicester Square premier of the new Harry potter film "Order of the Phoenix".
Thanks to the torrential rain that greeted the stars and fans alike, a good soaking was the order of the night.
While all the stars were happy to meet and greet their public in the pouring rain, starlet Emma Watson was non-too happy.
"If there's one thing I hate, it's having a wet pussy" she said. "And I know for a fact that my pussy doesn't take kindly to being damp for any considerable length of time."
It appears that on the evening of the premiere, Emma's mum and dad were engaged elsewhere, meaning that the family pet, a Siamese cat called "Fred", who becomes violent and neurotic if left alone for any length of time, had to be brought along to the by film by Miss Watson.
"I suppose if it means my pussy gets a thorough soaking, well, in order not to disappoint my fans, so be it."
