  • Charities Week at Hogwarts Works Magic!
    Issue no. 100! End of Autumn Term December 2011 The Kings’ Messenger Celebrates its 100th birthday! Charities Week at Hogwarts works magic! This year’s Charities Week took as its theme, The Kings of Wessex Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as the Senior Student Team (seen here) took centre stage as characters from J.K. Rowling’s adventure story sensation of wizard schoolboy Harry Potter and friends. The audience of Muggles at Hogwarts bought wristbands for the week’s events held at break and lunchtime as part of the fun fundraising for the team’s three chosen charities: Freewheelers—the emergency volunteer blood courier service, Merlin— sending medical experts to frontline global emergencies and Make-a- Wish—granting wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses. Counting of the magic pennies is still going on, but it is anticipated that over £9,000 has been raised during the week. Like the gestation of a good book, the team have been plotting their magical week for months and certainly cast their own spell on this great Kings tradition. Compared to the dastardly dark wizard, Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter and friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger would have doubtless escaped the traditional messy favourites of pie eating, waxing and the infamous gunge tank, and felt at home with magician Jez Starr. But would they have dared try Staff in their Eyes, or quiz games Would I lie to you? or romantic Blind Date? The week ended on a high with Rock and Roll Years, as students and staff strutted their stuff in singing and dance performances as the muggles rocked and raved in the aisles.
