Harry Potter author JK Rowling, is contributing £1m to charities supporting vulnerable people during the lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Half of the cash will head to Crisis which helps homeless people, and half to Refuge to support victims of domestic abuse.
Rowling’s donations come amid #HarryPotterDay on Twitter.
Saturday also marks the anniversary of one the major events of JK Rowling in her stories.
On Twitter, Rowling said: “Today’s the 22nd anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, but I am going to be honest and say that it feels inappropriate to talk about fictional deaths.
Rowling wrote many of her Harry Potter stories while she was in Edinburgh, Scotland, she said that many vulnerable people who were homeless or in an abusive relationship were suffering at this time.
