On July 7, 2011, the whole world stops and watches the world premiere of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2”, the final installment of the Harry Potter franchise at Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square, London. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, three leading Harry Potter actors, entered the world of Harry Potter as children since 2001's debut of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". Since then, they lived and grew up from schoolchildren into adults in full public view alongside with their characters. While all fans are so sad to say goodbye to Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe who’ve played Hermione, Ron and Harry, let's see how they grow up over the course of a decade of filmmaking.
