The Scotsman reports that four actors known for appearing in the Potter films have made Christmas cards that will be auctioned off for charity to fund research into cot deaths.

Quote:

Humorist Stephen Fry has sketched a Santa Claus with a sackfull of goodies, while ballet dancer Darcy Bussell has simply depicted a Christmas hat.

Quote:

Actor Michael Gambon has sketched a grumpy looking Santa Claus with the words Father Christmas After Paying the Congestion Charge.

Quote:

Cards by Helena Bonham Carter, Kenneth Branagh, Robbie Coltrane, Joanna Lumley, Emma Thompson and former TV gardener Alan Titchmarsh will also go under the hammer.

They will be auctioned on November 15 at Kensington Town Hall, west London.

There are 355 cot deaths a year in the UK. It is the leading cause of death in babies over the age of a month old.

Cool thing to do. Cot Death? SIDs? Sudden Infants Death Syndome? That's what we call crib death in the US if not other reason is found.

Thats good, SIDS are an unhappy thing to have happen. Hope we find a reason why they happen.
