AN actor from the Harry Potter films was the special guest at a family funday at the weekend.

Jon Key, who plays Bogrod in the popular series, joined in the fun on Saturday at the Hart and Spool Wetherspoons pub in Shenley Road.

Around £500 was raised for children's cancer charity, CLIC Sargent.

Activities included a tarot card reader, cake sale, face painting, tombola, prize bingo, fancy dress and darts tournament.

Mr Key, who lives in Borehamwood, said: "The children were fascinated by the pictures of me made up to play Bogrod in Harry Potter.

"It was all good fun and it is great to give my time to something so important."

Children at the funday received signed a photograph of Mr Key.
