The latest Harry Potter film has been screened to the two-man crew of the International Space Station (ISS).
Mission Control in Houston transmitted Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on Tuesday on the request of US astronaut Bill McArthur, the station's commander.
It followed a live link-up earlier this month that saw Sir Paul McCartney play two songs to the ISS crew members.
McArthur and Russian cosmonaut Valery Tokarev, the 12th crew of the ISS, are 55 days into their six-month mission.
"ISS crew members have busy work schedules but they also have a little scheduled downtime," said a Nasa spokesperson.
"Over the years the station has compiled a DVD movie library, along with books, magazines, CDs and other materials to help the astronauts relax."
The Goblet of Fire is now the most successful film in UK cinema history, having made £14.9m in its first three days on release.
On Thursday the ISS crew will celebrate the US Thanksgiving holiday with irradiated smoked turkey, dehydrated green beans and a thermo-stabilised cranberry-apple dessert.
