Arnold Goes Potty For Harry!


On his recent trip to China, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, accompanied by wife and first lady, Maria Shriver, were VIP guests at the Shanghai premier of the new Harry Potter movie.

Schwarzenegger and Shriver accompanied more than 300 'Harry' fans at the premier screening at the Shanghai Museum's cinema.

"I just want to say 'thank you very much for this great, great time we have had in Shanghai' and we are really looking forward to seeing this movie tonight," Schwarzenegger said at the ceremony prior to the screening.

Although the world premiere was slated for Friday, Beijing and Shanghai arranged for premier screenings on Thursday evening.

Dozens of Harry Potter fans dressed as their favorite characters from the movie waited outside the Stellar International Cineplex in Beijing.

Movie piracy is one of the topics on the governor's agenda during his six-day trade mission to China.

Schwarzenegger and a delegation of dozens of business leaders are there to promote California products and international business partnerships.

During a steel plant visit earlier, Schwarzenegger told reporters he is convinced China is moving in a positive direction on human rights and government openness.

The next stop on the trip -- Hong Kong.
