Harry Potter weekend raises thousands for Junior Achievement IOM

by isleofman.com 4th May 2012

A heady potion of witchcraft and wizardry has helped raise ?6,300 for Junior Achievement Isle of Man.

The charity organised a two-day Harry Potter-themed event at the end of March that saw King William’s College transformed into Hogwarts with hundreds of wannabe wizards queuing for classes ranging from divination to herbology.

Chief executive Sue Cook said, ‘The event was a fantastic success – people are still talking about it one month on – but we could never have done it without the help of our fantastic team of volunteers.

"It’s thanks to them, King William’s College and the Isle of Man Steam Railway that the event made such an impact.’
