Eddie Redmayne and Ezra Miller attended a LUMOS event at the British Library

‘Harry Potter: A History of Magic’ (opens 20th Nov - 28th Feb) is an exhibition 
featuring books, manuscripts & magical objects! (x) - more


While attending a special event on Thursday evening to promote J.K. Rowling's 
charity Lumos at The British Library, home of the Harry Potter: A History of 
Magic anniversary exhibit, SnitchSeeker got the chance to quickly talk to 
Fantastic Beasts film series stars Ezra Miller and Eddie Redmayne about the 
title of the sequel, out next year. 
SnitchSeeker: So I've just told Ezra the title of the movie, and the picture. 
What did you think? - Ezra Miller: I really liked it, and I just want to take this 
opportunity to thank you, Milo, for being the one, somehow, to reveal the title 
of the film that I'm currently making, to me. This is a great moment. 
...Redmayne, who was also on hand at the Lumos event, ...did quickly tell 
our team that he was told the name of the sequel yesterday, and was pretty 
excited when it was revealed to him. (snitchseeker.com)

Lumos Charity Screening at Carnegie Hall on November 12, 2016

Full video




Excerpt - the most important part at the end

- There are eight million children living in orphanages worldwide, 
- That we know of!
- That we know of. 
- See, I think what's staggering - what was amazing to me when I first began finding out about these issues 
- You think: "How could eight million children be going through this and we not know?" But a very small 
amount of thought shows you - they are, as you just said, so voiceless. They are literally hidden from sight. 
So in fact eight million may be a conservative estimate - there may be more children who have been taken 
from families, that we don't know about. 
- And they are in institutions that we are saying are harmful to children. 
- We know that children who are raised in institutions suffer developmental delays, they tend to be physically 
stunted, they normally have psychological trauma - it is just not what nature intended for children to be herded 
together and not given individual love and care.
What's happening across the developed world is, disaster hits and families are immediately pulled apart. 
"We'll take those children from you" - now imagine that, in the wake of a disaster, that people come to you 
and say "That child will get fed - only if you give me that child."
So since 2010 there has been a 700% increase in children in institutions in Haiti. So we now know that 
there are 30,000 children institutionalised. And the same statistic I keep quoting still applies: 
the overwhelming majority of those children have at least one parent. And these are families whose livelihoods 
have been swept away. These are families who are so desperate that they thought that was the only way 
that they were going to keep that child alive.
Obviously this is a massive issue - and as you would imagine, the solution is complex. But - I bring you hope! 
This is an entirely solvable issue. This is entirely solvable. Lumos' ambition - and we believe it's achievable 
- is that by 2050 we will have ended institutionalisation globally. 


What can we do? Tell us what we can -! 
- What can you do? So, 50% of what you can do, if you want to foundraise 
for us I will be forever in your debt. The other half though as I say is, the 
other thing you can do is if everyone who's here tonight walked out of here 
and said: "I get the issue, I know that institutionalisation is wrong," and in 
future when I donate - or when I hear a friend donating, saying they want to 
give some money away at Christmas - do a little bit of research and make 
sure that you are supporting families to stay together.
We will spread the word.
- Spread the word!
We will spread the word, that is our job, to spread the word and,
I've got to say, having known so little about it before, it's 
an extraordinary thing, and it's a complicated thing.


But as you say, it's solvable, and you must be incredibly proud of the work that Lumos are doing.


I am - I'ts probably the thing of which I am most proud.
