| | |  Harry Potter takes steps to help less fortunate
In her quest to secure the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award, 14-year-old Socttish student Jennifer Heilbronn has collected nearly 250 pairs of shoes for the needy, including donations from HP audio book narrator Stephen Fry and actor Dan Radcliffe. Quote:
I managed to get the celebrity shoes as Stephen Fry went to school with my dad and he sent a pair of bright green monster slippers, and we have a family connection to Daniel Radcliffe — I was quite excited to get his shoes, as I do like the Harry Potter films.
Dan Radcliffe sent a letter to Jennifer along with his donation: Quote:
When I was filming the third Harry Potter film, I knew I’d be going back to school before I started the fourth film. However, when it came to trying on my old school shoes, they were far too small for me.
Luckily the costume department on the Potter films were generous enough to give me the shoes I had worn in the movie and so the shoes I’m donating were Harry’s first and then mine. And Harry would like to apologise for any odour!
The shoes will be donated to One Step Beyond which supplies charities in Africa and Asia with much needed shoes. You can see a picture of Jennifer with both pairs here in our gallery.
The Duke of Edinburgh is an award for personal achievement for anyone aged from 14 to 25, and has three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. The Bronze Award takes at least six months of work to obtain. You can read more about the award here.  | |

Aww... That's so sweet of them ^^
Loved Dan's quote 
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
