* Blogmanac | School hogs Potter extras' money!


Schoolchildren working as extras on the new Harry Potter film have been forced to give the money they made to their school, it emerged yesterday. Fourteen children from Lochaber high school in the Scottish Highlands were told by headmaster Donald Campbell that work they did on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban during school hours counted as work experience and that the money should go to a school fund. Warner Bros accordingly made a donation of £1,370 to the school. The children were, however, paid for working on the shoot over weekends.

Children from nearby Kinlochleven high school were allowed to keep their earnings, which the 'Sun' puts at £35 a day.
