Social Roundup: Beauty, Beast, Books and Blondes

by Kevin Assam · March 8, 2015

This week saw the unveiling of some pretty exciting news relating to the casting of Beauty and the Beast and the reveal of Warner Bros. Tours London latest expansion.

WB Tours London got things rolling by announcing their Hogwarts Express/Platform 9 3/4 expansion which was attended by Mark Williams (Mr. Weasley).

Which was of course accompanied with an obligatory “selfie”.

Next up was Emma’s welcoming of the recently cast “Beast” and “Gaston”.

Not to be outcovered by other stories, the annual World Book Day celebrations in the UK and Ireland kicked off with equal fanfare, within which J.K Rowling was more than happy to participate! 

Happy #WorldBookDay everyone! I'm celebrating by writing a book.

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 5, 2015

...with a little joke.

Why has Percy Weasley got his arm around Narcissa Malfoy? Find out in my new… kidding. I'M KIDDING. #NotAPrequel pic.twitter.com/ZZ6HJZrDY3

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 5, 2015

She did however make abundantly clear her love for adorable cosplayers.

How cute is Hagrid? #WorldBookDay pic.twitter.com/nQ1FJMzGSu

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 5, 2015

This applies to our four legged and three headed friends as well.

And finally, because, you know, it's the internet… #WorldBookDayForDogs pic.twitter.com/F3JIwF7qXc

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 5, 2015

I'd just decided I'd retweeted enough dogs when… pic.twitter.com/u53mSaaV9p

Bonnie Wright kept all these festivities in balance with her work for Peace One Day.

An inspiring afternoon talking about #Peace with @PeaceOneDay @JeremyGilley #WhoWillYouMakePeaceWith this Sept 21st? pic.twitter.com/8vNcnrudhR

— Bonnie Wright (@thisisbwright) March 3, 2015

Great to see bonnie. @thisisbwright she is incredible. Great supporter of peace day. pic.twitter.com/XwymCBlWeE

But it was a fashion statement that delivered this week’s dose of humor, along with a quick double take of the Malfoys. Draco (Tom Felton) thought it was his doppelganger…

So apparently Kanye has a Draco fetish….#muse

 …who also stood him up.

Kim K stood me up. Outnumbered by 3 Weasleys. Ugh.

A photo posted by Tom Felton (@t22felton) on Mar 7, 2015 at 2:00am PST

But there were some who thought otherwise…

“@heatworld:Everyone thinks that Kim Kardashian looks like Draco Malfoy. We think it’s more Lucius. pic.twitter.com/qHmhHjvQQl” @jasonsfolly — Viv (@athornedrose_) March 5, 2015

 …such as Mr. Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs).

I think you’ll find son, that he’s after Lucious Lucius“@TomFelton: So apparently Kanye has a Draco fetish….#musehttps://t.co/EQidBZvwZN” — Jason Isaacs (@jasonsfolly) March 5, 2015

Which led him to wonder about the current location of his wig… 

Seriously though. I wondered where my wig went. Lucius had some good work done… pic.twitter.com/0xFPY6AqMS — Jason Isaacs (@jasonsfolly) March 5, 2015

…until he was finally reassured.

.@jasonsfolly never fear, we have your wig on display at Warner Bros. Studio Tour! It seems Lucius is a trend setter! pic.twitter.com/wMcH54MJv4 — WB Tour London (@wbtourlondon) March 6, 2015
