by , · October 11, 2018

Missed your chance to win a trip to the premiere of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald with Lumos’s campaign back in June? The charity is offering a second chance to score tickets to the film’s London premiere with the purchase of a limited-edition, very chic (if we do say so ourselves) Newt Scamander pin. Don’t take our word for it – see it for yourself below.

 

 

The pin, which is an artful rendering of Newt Scamander’s wand and an Occamy, retails for £5.99 and can be purchased either online through Lumos’s website or in person at Fantastic Beasts: Wizarding World Wands Supporting Lumos, a new sculpture installation on Peter’s Hill in London. Beginning on October 18 and running through November 13, the installation will feature nine 15-foot wands illuminating a walkway between Millennium Bridge and St. Paul’s Cathedral each evening from 6:45 to 10:45.

For a chance to win tickets to the London premiere of Crimes of Grindelwald on November 13, all you have to do is purchase your pin before 11: 59 p.m. on October 31. Even if you miss out on scoring premiere tickets, you can still bask in the joy of knowing you supported a worthy cause and picked up a limited-edition item – the spin cast zinc alloy and nickel plated pin will only be on sale until December 31.

Lumos CEO Georgette Mulheir commented on the announcement:

Lumos is delighted to be able to give wizarding fans this very special chance to own their very own piece of magic and support our vital work helping vulnerable children around the world.

This beautiful pin badge features Newt Scamander’s wand and an Occamy and will make a wonderful addition to any fan’s collection.

Will you be ordering a pin or stopping by Peter’s Hill to support Lumos this holiday season? We sure hope so!

About Lumos

Lumos is fighting for a world without orphanages and institutions. A world where families can stay together and children have the loving care and protection they need. Lumos is a force for change. We demonstrate the dramatic harm to healthy childhood development caused by institutionalisation and the overwhelming benefits of the alternative: community and family care. We tackle the root causes of family separation – poverty, trafficking and discrimination – and reunite families.

We speak up on behalf of the eight million children trapped in orphanages and other institutions worldwide to transform care, so every child can thrive in families and communities. 80% of these hidden children are not orphans and we prove that, with the right support, they can stay with their families. Named after the light-giving spell in Harry Potter, Lumos was founded by J.K. Rowling in 2005. To find out more, please visit www.wearelumos.org

 

About Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

The second of five all-new adventures in the Wizarding WorldTMcreated by J.K. Rowling, Warner Bros. Pictures’ Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald features an ensemble cast led by Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Zoë Kravitz, Callum Turner, Claudia Kim, William Nadylam, Kevin Guthrie, Carmen Ejogo, Poppy Corby-Tuech, with Jude Law and Johnny Depp.

At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald was directed by David Yates, from a screenplay by J.K. Rowling. The film is produced by David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram. Tim Lewis, Neil Blair, Rick Senat and Danny Cohen served as executive producers. The film will be distributed worldwide in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be released in cinemas on 16thNovember.
