Social Roundup: Fantastic Beasts, Helium Balloons, and 2015 Charity Awards

by · June 21, 2015

Earlier this week saw the second big casting reveal for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the grand recipient of the 2015 Charity Awards, and a certain beloved character get absolutely silly with the help of helium and Jimmy Fallon.

The most exciting bit of news this week named Katherine Waterston as Fantastic Beasts‘ Porpentina. Joining the previously announced Eddie Redmayne, we are slowly but surely seeing how the film is coming together.

J.K. Rowling’s charity, Lumos, was also in the spotlight this week for being named The Overall Winner of the 2015 Charity Awards.

With so much buzz once again surrounding the world of Harry Potter, it’s no wonder that Alan Rickman got carried away with one too many helium-filled balloons.

These same helium-filled balloons, by the way, may have come in handy to help diffuse some intense situations encountered by Jessie Cave.

And finally, we got a peek at how Game of Thrones obsessed some of the cast members really are. Who knew the gentle soul that is Luna Lovegood enjoyed such a heart-wrenching series?

Come to think of it, Harry Potter was just as much of an emotional roller coaster.

That concludes another edition of the Social Roundup. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for more Fantastic Beasts casting news in the upcoming weeks. Be sure to let us know what your favorite moments of the week were.
