Harry Potter lookalikes tricked shoppers at the Eastgate Centre. The Basildon shopping centre held a Potter fun day.
Children out with their mum and dads were delighted to meet lookalikes of the boy wizard hero, from JK Rowling's blockbuster books, and other much loved characters. Mike Horton, spokesman for the centre, said: "Everyone loves Harry Potter and he and his friends certainly cast a spell over the children here."
