Devon Murray, (Seamus Finnigan) from the Harry Potter movies, recently kicked off
off UNICEF Ireland's Kids Helping Kids campaign. The campaign hopes to raise €100,000 ($128,172), with funds going directly to support UNICEF programs to bring safe water to children caught up in emergency situations.
Devon, who is from Kildare, launched this year's campaign at a children's party and said:
UNICEF Ireland want children right across the country to get involved in this year's 'Kids Helping Kids' campaign. There are lots of ways to have fun and raise money for UNICEF's safe water programmes for children at the same time.
Please join this year's campaign - it's a great event that everyone can easily participate in!

Wow, the Potte people are really into charity work. That's nice I guess. But I'd feel like they were being a bit more genuine if they were like, "Screw the sick, I need a new Porsche"

It is so amazing to see that the 'child' stars of Harry Potter have grown to be fine examples of young adults. They are great role models for the generation to come and I'm glad they were chosen to be part of Harry Potter.
