HARRY Potter stars James and Oliver Phelps dropped into High March School and Beaconsfield School to congratulate the pupils on their fundraising for charity Wavemakers.

The twin actors, who play Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter films, are ambassadors of the Beaconsfield charity that aims to improve the lives of children by celebrating their achievements.

Pupils at High March School in Ledborough Lane had raised money for the charity by having a Wavemakers Day and Go Lime Green event where everybody dressed up in a lime green outfit.

More than £120 was raised.

Sue Clifford, headmistress, said: "The girls looked fantastic and they had great fun putting their outfits together."

On Thursday, June 30, the pupils got the chance to meet the two film stars, who talked about how important it is to celebrate young people's achievements.

In an assembly some of the pupils also shared their own experiences, such as gaining a swimming award or overcoming exam nerves.

They were then able to ask the actors about the making of the Harry Potter films.
