Thousands of fans prepared on Thursday to say goodbye to their beloved boy wizard at the world premiere of the final "Harry Potter" film, Reuters reported.

Die-hard fans have camped out since Monday to catch a glimpse of the stars as they walk the red carpet at the official world premiere.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2" is the eighth installment – and first in 3-D – of a franchise that has generated more public excitement and media hype than any other in living memory.

For Hollywood studio Warner Bros, it has been a magic pot of gold, with the seven films released so far grossing US$6.4 billion in ticket sales and billions more from DVDs and merchandise.

For a generation of Potter fans, the movies have extended the wizarding world created by British author J.K. Rowling.

The young actors said they too were struggling to get to grips with the post-Potter world.

"After we finished (filming) a year ago now I have felt a little bit lost without it, really, and not really knowing what to do with myself," said Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley.
