PUPILS at a Darlington school held a Harry Potter day to raise money yesterday.

Children and teachers from Red Hall Primary School dressed in capes and hats for the day and raised more than £100.

Children paid 50p to go dressed as Harry Potter, Hermione Grainger or Ron Weasley.

Two winners were picked by teachers from each class and an overall winner, Daniel Kendray, ten, won a video for his Harry Potter costume, wearing glasses he designed himself.

Teacher Cynthia Simon said: "It was well-timed with the release of the second Harry Potter film on the same day, and the children have really enjoyed it.

"We have also been showing them the video of the first film."
