We recently reported that several Harry Potter stars donated doodles to an eBay auction to benefit the charity Epilepsy Action. The auction ended a couple of days ago, and Harry Potter stars alone raised $1,452.92 (937.97 GBP).
The doodle that fetched the highest price was that of David Bradley, who portrays Argus Filch and whose doodle sold for $272.82 (180 GBP). The doodle with the most bids was John Hurt, who portrays Mr. Ollivander and who had 33 bids placed for his drawing of a dog. In a close second place for most bids was Bonnie Wright, whose hand tracing had 28 bids and sold for $139.41 (90 GBP).
You can take a look at the doodles which were offered up for sale and see which ones fared best here. Looks like these stars, and the others who donated doodles to the charity, made some real magic happen with their generosity!

Several of the Potter stars have signed and doodled on a tambourine for a quirky fundraising project dreamt up by Birmingham-based musical charity Sound It Out.

Rupert Grint is using his artistic ability to benefit Keech Hospice Care's adult and children's hospices. The Potter actor is known to enjoy drawing and painting and has created an elaborate, colored butterfly sketch.
Grint’s artwork will join the creations of many other celebrities including Coldplay, Theo Walcott and Fearne Cotton. The special group of paintings, named 'The Chrysalis Collection,' will be auctioned off on the eBay in March. Keech fundraiser Laura Devine said:
"We are delighted Rupert has chosen to support his local hospice charity, especially because many of the children we care for are big fans of the Harry Potter star."
"Rupert's masterpiece features many faces inside the butterfly's wings, each with their own quirky expression and unique character – a true Harry Potter creation that will have the fans thrilled!"
The auction will run from March 19th to 28th and there will be a public exhibition at the Stockwood Discovery Centre in Luton.
