The MS READaTHON is the biggest school-based reading initiative in Ireland and the key annual fundraising campaign of Multiple Sclerosis Ireland, the services, information and research society supporting people affected by MS. Last year more than 25,000 children in 686 schools participated, reading an incredible 500,000 books between them and raising more than €1 million for people with MS.
Photos of a now-redheaded Evanna posing with several young fans with UK editions of
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and
Deathly Hallows for the Readathon can be found in our
