“Potter” Twitter Roundup: The Hulk and the Snorkack

by Claire Furner · June 22, 2014

The Potter-verse grew to an even greater expanse this week as Universal Orlando opened their gates a smidgen for the Diagon Alley preview event. While you have no doubt seen the MuggleNet coverage, members of the cast were also on hand to promote the event via the Twittersphere!

And they were certainly enjoying their time in the park, whether it was at Platform 9 and 3/4…

Excited to be @UniversalORL for #DiagonAlleyPreview. Just arrived at Kings Cross Station & found Platform 9 3/4… pic.twitter.com/UGKqeQUN54

… in the shops…

Orlando also took the opportunity to break some BIG park related news.

Can’t believe it’s @WizardCon soon! Who’s coming along? #WizardConSpain — Chris Rankin (@chrisrankin) June 19, 2014

That’s all for this week. Who was your favorite tweeter from Universal? Is there anyone you wish has tweeted more?

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.
