As we told you earlier in the week the pupils of Parmiter's School in Watford, England visited the set of Deathly Hallows as a treat for raising a record-breaking amount of money for Red Nose Day. Their segment just aired during the Comic Relief telethon.

The pupils were taken to Leavesden Studios where animals trainers showed them owls and the dog that plays Fang. They were also shown around the sets and got to watch a bit of filming. During the clip we saw footage of the Headmaster's office, which included a close-up first-look at the portrait of the sleeping Dumbledore.

They also got to speak to Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. Dan told a story about raising money for the charity one year by doing a sponsored silence.

UPDATE: We now have the video.

[Thanks to Lauren from DanRadcliffe.com for the file!]

We would ask that you please consider donating to Comic Relief.

All the money you raise or donate will help to transform lives. That’s because Comic Relief spends it to support long-term projects which help people to help themselves across the UK and Africa.

UPDATE #2: We know have several screencaps here in our gallery.

OMG that was a REALLY REALLY awesome reward! Those kids truly earned it! And our HP actors are, as always, beyond SUPER nice!

What a great once in a lifetime adventure. That's fantastic for the kids. Wish I was there too. What an experience that would be! BTW, I did see Emma, and she was in the right side of the screen, or to the left of Rupert and Dan. The video was focused on Dan most of the time.

surdan · 03-13-2009, 10:25 PM

Wow. its great. dan is vivacious as always. rupe and em dont talk much. surprisingly em is silent. but its a pleasure watching dan!!!

I love the Dumbledore Portrait

Glad they kept it in the film.
What an awesome reward, they really deserved it

But I think if my school were told we were going on the Harry Potter set I would have been much more excited then they were, I'd probably pee myself

Shanners · 03-13-2009, 10:30 PM

gosh. dans very chatty isnt he?

^^ pee wouldnt be the only thing in my pants :O

Yes, at the very end, when McGonagall gets all the professors and Harry together to figure out what to do after he died.

Good deeds deserve great rewards. These kids really got a treat.

ronhermioneroc12 · 03-13-2009, 11:40 PM

HP actors are the best!! I loved seeing them even if it was brief

What a great reward for those kids!!!! They looked like they were going to keel over when they saw Dan,Rupert, and Emma walk in. Yeah Emma was in it LOL... she shook hands with one of the kids and said nice to meet you. HP actors (cant call them kids anymore! LOL) are such awesome role models.
