The magnetic field structure in the swept-up HII shell and the stellar wind region around an early type star is described. It is argued that the field does not become dynamically so important as to prevent self-similar flow. A condition under which reconnexion removes magnetic energy from the bubble is derived. It follows that the process of turbulent mixing between the HII region and the bubble works efficiently enough to cause severe departures from uniform expansion, even in the presence of magnetic fields.
