Their appearance is part of a “West End Live” Launch that is part of the ongoing MSN tour we’ve told you about previously. The press release states the following:

On Thursday, 18th and Friday, 19th June the tour will be
running for prize winners only. On Saturday, 20th and Sunday, 21st June the
tour will be run on a first come, first served basis. Everyone who walks
through the Harry Potter experience will have the chance to see a selection
of the original production sets, some of the iconic costumes as worn by Harry
Potter and Dumbledore and props that will include an original Firebolt
broomstick.

Prize winners only will have the opportunity to perform a
spell “on-camera” and this will be entered into a separate competition to win
the ultimate prize. One lucky winner will have an unforgettable film
experience: They will win the chance to visit Leavesden Studios in England to
see the Harry Potter sets and a chance to appear in one of the final Harry
Potter films.

The press release also has more about the release of the film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and the tour specifically in London, England.
