Eddie Redmayne, Fantastic Beasts’ Newt Scamander has taken to social media today on behalf of JK Rowling’s children’s charity Lumos to send a message to fans about their current Crowdrise campaign and corresponding Fantastic contest. As reported by Leaky earlier this month, two of Redmayne’s Fantastic Beasts co-stars, Alison Sudol and Dan Fogler, announced via livestream with Lumos, the competition which will award one lucky grand prize winner and their guest a full behind-the-scenes experience of the new film led by producer David Heyman and director David Yates, allowing them to see the set, meet cast and crew members and visit the Warner Bros Studio Tour. This also includes round trip air transportation for two to London, and three nights in a four star hotel in the capital. The competition is hosted by Crowdrise, and is only $12 to enter. The money raised goes to supporting Lumos Foundation USA.

Redmayne has been an advocate of Lumos since last year along with various other children’s charities supported by BBC’s Children in Need as covered here by Leaky. In the video below, the Fantastic Beasts star discusses the important work that Lumos does connecting institutionalized children with their families, deeming it a “wonderful cause”. He also teases some specifics about what the grand prize winner might expect to experience on the Fantastic Beasts 2 set, including possible face time with each of the actors and possibly an encounter with a stray niffler or two!
