Stars of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, as well as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child joined in with Red Nose Day festivities today, helping to raise money to end poverty.

Comic Relief started in 1988 and is on the BBC 1 in the U.K. NOW (starting at 7pm UTC), with big names in music, film and television taking part to help those living in poverty in the UK and Africa.

The Cursed Child gang hosted a giveaway of two tickets and a backstage tour, and donned red noses for the special day:

J.K. Rowling changed her Twitter profile photo and shared a note about her contributions to Comic Relief (and Lumos):
