Yesterday, September 11, James and Oliver Phelps visited St Patrick's Grammar School in Armagh. The Phelps twins, who play the Weasley twins in the Potter movies, congratulated the pupils for their success at Mencap's Spellathon.
St Patrick's succeeded in topping the fund-raising spellathon in Northern Ireland. They raised over £1,300 for Mencap.
