LONDON -- Since their first meeting nearly 15 years ago, author J.K. Rowling and actress Emma Watson seem to have formed a lasting friendship.

Although both of these extraordinary women undoubtedly lead very busy lives, they still find ways to support one another -- even if it's just a simple tweet.

Most recently, 26-year-old Watson shared a photo of herself wearing an official "Be the Light" T-shirt in support of Rowling's charity, Lumos.

The shirt features a quote from Rowling's speech at the 2008 Harvard University commencement ceremony: "We do not need magic to transform our world; we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already."

At least 60 percent of proceeds from the sale of the T-shirts will go towards supporting the organisation's work to help provide care for, and end the institutionalisation of, children.
