Harry Potter stars deliver special message to Stafford school
It was a magical week for children at St Paul’s C of E school, after stars from the Harry Potter films delivered them a very special message.
The children in Class 3 had been studying J K Rowling’s famous book series in their English lessons and had just finished the topic when they received the surprise videos.
Jason Isaacs, who plays Lucias Malfoy in the Warner Brothers films, and Afshan Azad, the actress who plays Padma Patil, each sent their very own greeting to the school.
Unfortunately, and to the disappointment of the pupils, it wasn’t by owl.
Jason Isaacs, who plays Harry’s arch-enemy Draco’s father, said in his film: “Hello to everyone at St Paul’s Primary in Stafford.
“My name is Jason Isaacs but you might know me better as Lucias Malfoy when I have long blonde hair and an elf standing down there,” he joked during the message.
“I understand you’re doing Happy Potter in English, so study hard or else the Malfoys will come and find you in your bed late at night.”
And Afshan Azad, whose character Padma begrudgingly accompanies Ron Weasley to the Yule Ball in the Goblet of Fire, said in her film: “Hi St Paul’s Primary School.
“I’m on a plane right now on my way back from Brazil.
“I just want to say I hope you’re all working very hard at school because working hard at school is so important to reaching where you want to be in life so that you can all be on a plane like me and achieve your goals.
“Listen to your teachers and work hard at school. Sending all my love.”
