Peter Kay DJed for the night and guests included; Ian Rankin, Charlotte Church, Joely Richardson and Evgeny Lebedev. An auction, which raised £126,000, was held during the festivities. Quote:
One popular item was the chance to be immortalised as a wizard or witch in a portrait at the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Florida.
Charity fundraising manager Glenda MacKenzie said the sum raised broke all previous records.

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. | |
