:01:40. > :01:45.to see tonight. What has changed in the wizard in world over the last 19
:01:46. > :01:49.years? You don't really need technology if you need magic and it
:01:50. > :01:54.is a bit of a point of pride with wizards that they continue to use
:01:55. > :02:02.the way rather than the world's way. Having said that, things have
:02:03. > :02:06.changed politically. Definitely. So we are living in the different age.
:02:07. > :02:10.And the rules governing wizardry have changed as a result. What was
:02:11. > :02:15.the thing you are most open to produce for Harry Potter fans? I
:02:16. > :02:19.have seen a full dress rehearsal and I was blown away by it. The
:02:20. > :02:23.characters are very true to the earlier selves and we wanted to do
:02:24. > :02:27.something completely new with these characters that we know and love,
:02:28. > :02:31.and some new characters. Do we get to see character is that we know and

:03:19. > :03:20.Thousands of Welsh fans have travelled here to

:04:33. > :04:34.player John Hartson, who gave me a prediction
:04:35. > :04:47.Lovely to have you here. Can't you tell us your prediction for the
:04:48. > :04:51.match today? Of course I am proud Welshman, a former international
:04:52. > :04:58.myself, so I will have to go for Wales to win. I will go 2-0. I think
:04:59. > :05:03.it will be close, but I think we just have the edge. How good can
:05:04. > :05:07.Gareth Bale be in this tournament? As good as he wants to be,
:05:08. > :05:16.basically. If he performs at the level that we know he can, he can
:05:17. > :05:20.exceed all expectations. He is such are dynamic, explosive player. If
:05:21. > :05:24.Gareth Bale turns it on, if he plays to the level that he can, he can
:05:25. > :05:29.take Wales on to another level. So, that's it, Wales are just a few
:05:30. > :05:32.hours from kick-off. I'll bring you the reaction
