Aside from Emma Watson, the author of the beloved and magical series, J.K. Rowling was also present at the fundraising event.
"Since setting up the charity eight years ago to help change the lives of so many children living unnecessarily in appalling institutions across the world, Lumos has already helped governments to take nearly 12,000 children out of these institutions. We have prevented the deaths of more than 400 extremely vulnerable children with disabilities, who were not receiving the care they needed in institutions. We have helped the EU change its rules on how it uses money to reform health, education and social services - and we are just beginning," stated Rowling in a report by The Mirror.
"There is so much more we need to do to bring an end to the institutionalisation of children. The incredible support we have received tonight will directly go towards helping achieve all this," continued the "Harry Potter" author.
Joining J.K. Rowling and Emma Watson at the Lumos Fundraising Event was Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood, Alan Rickman, who played Professor Severus Snape and Warwick Davis, who played Professor Flitwick.
In other "Potter" related news, J.K. Rowling is working on the "Potter" spin-off, "Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them" which follows the story of Newt Scamander set "seventy years before" the story of Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter.
While Daniel Radcliffe ruled out his appearance in the upcoming spin-off, Evanna Lynch was more than happy to oblige.
"Even if I'm too old to play Luna, can I go through 10 hours prosthetics to play a crumple-horned snorlack. Please??" tweeted Evanna.
