Good morning and welcome to your Wednesday Newsround

:00:00.:00:00.

Here's a sneak peak at today's top news stories.

:00:07.:00:12.

Find out why this dress has won one family the loom band lottery.

:00:13.:00:16.

And Potter Mania hits Japan.

:00:17.:00:19.

A dress made entirely from loom bands has sold in an online

:00:20.:00:29.

There were more than 100 bids for the dress.

:00:30.:00:38.

It's worn here by 12-year-old Sian from Prestatyn in Wales.

:00:39.:00:40.

It was her mum Helen who helped make it, in just three and a half weeks.

:00:41.:00:48.

It is not known whether the winning bidder will pay up but the website

:00:49.:00:54.

rules say that they must. That is a cool dress.

:00:55.:00:56.

A big effort to redevelop the Imperial War Museum in London

:00:57.:00:58.

has been completed, just in time to mark 100 years

:00:59.:01:01.

Parts of the museum had to be completely rebuilt to fit everything

:01:02.:01:06.

There are more than 1,300 items on display at the museum, which is one

:01:07.:01:11.

And here's what it looks like now it's finished.

:01:12.:01:16.

Perhaps you went to school in fancy dress?

:01:17.:01:28.

However you raised money for Children in Need last year,

:01:29.:01:30.

you'll be pleased to hear that your donations are spent throughout

:01:31.:01:33.

the year to help fund over 2,500 projects.

:01:34.:01:37.

One of those is called Taking the Reins and CBBC's Sam and Mark

:01:38.:01:40.

went along to meet a group of children who have benefited

:01:41.:01:43.

Hi there, we are Sam and Mark and today we are

:01:44.:01:48.

Which is a Children In Need funded project so we will hang out with

:01:49.:01:53.

kids, horses as well, we are just going to hang out!

:01:54.:01:56.

Behind us we have got Beatrix and Phoebe, the little pony as well.

:01:57.:02:06.

That is what is great about this place, it is open to all

:02:07.:02:10.

kids so we have children with disabilities, behavioural problems,

:02:11.:02:12.

I have been coming here for nine years.

:02:13.:02:15.

And it has helped me build my confidence

:02:16.:02:21.

because I didn't use to be confident and I used to be really shy.

:02:22.:02:28.

There is a kind of magic to it in that it draws out of the children

:02:29.:02:32.

a lot of confidence, lots of self-esteem, as you have probably

:02:33.:02:35.

seen already and communication beyond, often beyond imagination.

:02:36.:02:40.

We have children speaking for the first time ever when they

:02:41.:02:43.

We have been watching this session here.

:02:44.:02:47.

We have got his teacher and the horse, apparently the

:02:48.:02:53.

biggest horse we have got here which is why Caden loves this horse.

:02:54.:02:59.

Rhianne is teaching Caden basically how to command the horse.

:03:00.:03:02.

She has taught him how to walk around, how to trot and stop.

:03:03.:03:06.

Caden is doing it all, it is incredible,

:03:07.:03:08.

you can see the smile on his face because he is making the horse do

:03:09.:03:12.

Well, we have had a great day here at Taking the Reins,

:03:13.:03:22.

It has been great to see how the money you raise for BBC Children

:03:23.:03:27.

Hogwarts Castle has opened its doors in Japan in east Asia, to a

:03:28.:03:41.

Actors Tom Felton and Evanna Lynch cast a spell at the entrance of

:03:42.:03:45.

Hundreds of fans - many in costume - were

:03:46.:03:49.

The new park includes a recreation of Hogwarts Castle

:03:50.:03:53.

and a rollercoaster called Flight of the Hippogriff.

:03:54.:03:57.

It's an honour and a privilege to be here today.

:03:58.:03:59.

I'm so excited to see the Japanese fans, getting this opportunity to

:04:00.:04:02.

Very pleased to see some Slytherin T-shirts over there

:04:03.:04:07.

as well, some home support, so thanks very much for having us.

:04:08.:04:10.

Thank you for sharing your passion and enthusiasm for the films

:04:11.:04:13.

and books with us as well because it means so much after all these

:04:14.:04:17.

President Obama is probably more used to having a driver

:04:18.:04:22.

and a security guard than getting behind the wheel himself

:04:23.:04:25.

but that's exactly what he did at a research centre in America.

:04:26.:04:28.

He was checking out new technology that could one day make cars smart

:04:29.:04:38.

enough to know whether another vehicle is coming around a corner.

:04:39.:04:42.

This is so exciting. I haven't been in a car in a long time.

:04:43.:04:49.

He tested it out from the seat of a driving simulator, a rare chance for

:04:50.:04:53.

him to get behind the wheel - even if it was only on a virtual road.

:04:54.:04:57.

That's all for now, but if you want to see some super sporting dogs or
