Social Roundup: the Hogwarts Express, Rugby, and Red Nose Day
This week’s social roundup sees the Potter stars get involved with charity, attend parties, and rugby matches, as well as hop aboard the Hogwarts Express once again.
Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) was one of many of the stars who got involved with Red Nose Day, helping to raise money for Comic Relief, and teasing fans with her appearance:
Don't miss @rednoseday tonight on @BBCOne from 7pm… You might see a familiar face… #RND15

Pottermore also reminded Potter fans that J.K. Rowling’s books, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages, were originally written to raise money for Comic Relief:
