HARRY Pottermania is set to sweep through the Vale this weekend with special screenings at an Evesham cinema.

The Regal in Port Street will be showing previews of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday's screenings are at 2, 5 and 8pm, while Sunday's screenings are at 2.45 and 7.45pm.

Brian Houghton, chief technician at the cinema, said pre-bookings are not being taken, so it will be a case of first come, first served.

He added: "My advice is to come early, as this is probably the biggest film in the last 10 years or so."
