The Harry Potter star, who celebrated his 34th birthday the day before, had been playing alongside Olympian Dan Jansen and hockey players Mike Eruzione and Teemu Selanne.

Earlier on in the match, he had delighted Harry Potter fans in the crowd by pretending to use his golf club as a Quidditch broomstick.
