And Matthew Lewis attended the premiere of a short film he produced titled On My Own.

This year I produced a short film written by and starring some supremely talented people. This week I finally had the pleasure of attending the premiere at the @BFI. A moving, poignant, powerful tale of human connection. So proud. @OnMyOwnFilm @MrAnthonyLewis @LeeHunt3r pic.twitter.com/b4CJLhL8Xp

A Magical Time of Year is a holiday album in support of J.K. Rowling’s charity, Lumos. It features a number of actors from across the Wizarding World and is available to stream and purchase now.

Alison Sudol (Queenie Goldstein) sings the Christmas classic “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

The holiday season is the most magical time for kids (and overgrown kids like me who cover themselves in garlands decorating the house) and I am delighted to be a part of this project. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is the most perfect happy-sad holiday song, and I’ve always wanted to cover it. Knowing that the proceeds of this album will go to helping children have a chance at a safer, more loving future is something that I’m deeply proud of. Thank you for listening, and have yourself a very merry little Christmas. Link in bio.

Sudol’s Fantastic Beasts castmate Claudia Kim is also featured on the album. Kim sings a song perfect for Hogwarts in December, “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”
