Twitter Roundup: A Play Is Born

by Claire Furner · December 22, 2013

Harry Potter is coming to the West End! But how did the Twittersphere react?

It's true????? Harry Potter, the play. Feeling a little light-headed right now. And wondering does our JKR EVER sleep???

— Evanna Lynch (@Evy_Lynch) December 20, 2013

Am I the only person who doesn't like the fact that JK Rowling is planning a new Harry Potter stage show 🙁 #Scrooge

— Rohan Gotobed (@Rohan_Gotobed) December 20, 2013

In quite the muted fashion it would seem! Clearly they were all too busy prepping for Christmas. There is of course a lot to do.

1. There’s decorating the tree,

4. Buying presents,

— Verne Troyer (@VerneTroyer) December 21, 2013

and, if you can squeeze it in, (5) attending the Yule Ball.

how much fire whiskey have I been handed?! I'm going to be out cold in seconds, or dancing with my tie round my head.#TwitterYuleBal2013

— Chris Rankin (@chrisrankin) December 21, 2013

After all that, the Potter alumni still had time to squeeze in a few viewing/reading recommendations should you need some time out over the festive period.

MuggleNet receives JKR Fansite Award
Recurs yearly

2004

It’s high time I paid homage to the mighty MuggleNet. Where to start? I love the design, (I currently favour the ‘Dementor’ layout), the polls (I actually voted in the ‘Who’s the Half-Blood Prince?’ one), the pretty-much-exhaustive information on all books and films, the wonderful editorials (more insight there than in several companion volumes I shall not name), 101 Ways to Annoy Lord Voldemort (made me laugh aloud), the Wall of Shame (nearly as funny as some of the stuff I get)… pretty much everything. Webmaster Emerson, Eric, Jamie, Damon, Ben, Matthew, Rachel, Jaymz and Sharon, I salute you.
