Jo will be talking about the international children’s organisation she founded a decade ago, shining a light on the great work they’ve been doing.
You can submit a question for J.K. Rowling to the We Are Lumos Worldwide campaign website, and if you’re lucky, your question will be asked during the event!
Lumos says that this livestream marks the start of the We Are Lumos Worldwide global campaign, to ‘raise awareness and urge people to get involved with the non-profit organisation’s work to bring the hidden children to light and get them home to families’.
The campaign will involve a gala performance of Cursed Child on September 18th where all proceeds go to Lumos programmes worldwide, and a special advance screening of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them followed by a talk with J.K. Rowling and Eddie Redmayne in NYC on 12th November!
Lumos also reports:
“As part of this awareness raising, Harry Potter stars and Lumos ambassadors Warwick Davis, Evanna Lynch and Bonnie Wright have visited programmes in Moldova and Haiti to find out more about this vital work. Films of their visits will be released in the coming weeks”
Be sure to tune into the livestream at the Lumos Facebook page this Saturday!
