Social Roundup: J.K. Rowling and the Play that isn’t a Prequel

by Sophie Reid · July 5, 2015

We raced into July this week and summer is finally here, but there’s no sign of things slowing down for our Potter stars, with busy accounts of book releases, encounters, and much more.

Jessie Cave launched her new book of illustrations this week, Love Sick, celebrating with a launch party in London. 

today my book is out!!!!!! Dreams. Come. True. #lovesick 💜💛💜💋 http://t.co/ExwdtsmFqu pic.twitter.com/4koOnSuqX8

HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY to the fabulous @pindippycave #LOVESICK out today! http://t.co/H5ueyJg0Uo pic.twitter.com/i9m2tth0sP

— Ebury Publishing (@EburyPublishing) July 2, 2015

A few familiar faces were present at the party: 

I think we could have worn more patterns

Meanwhile, Tom Felton celebrated summer accordingly:

And Matt Lewis cuddled up with a dog:

Love this little guy. Not sure he’s as keen on me. pic.twitter.com/zIpE3LY4Uj

Daniel Radcliffe shared a story from the set of Horns – and a new video: 


Warwick Davis hung out with Lewis Hamilton:

Right back at you Lewis! Thanks for sparing time during practice & for what you did for #Invictus & #HelpTheHeroes. https://t.co/j4uZVNdHMq

— Warwick Davis (@WarwickADavis) July 3, 2015

And did you know that the play ISN’T a prequel? Jo continued last week’s tweeting storm to remind us all that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child wasn’t in fact a prequel: 

.@CNBCWorld It's not a prequel. It really, really isn't a prequel. Not a prequel. Not at all prequelly. It is an anti-prequel. #NotAPrequel

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 28, 2015

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 29, 2015

The story of #CursedChild should be considered canon, though. @jackthorne, John Tiffany (the director) and I developed it together.

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 29, 2015

 

Before moving onto other matters: 

That just turns Albus's motto into Aberforth's. https://t.co/uLywdiCE0I

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) July 1, 2015

Don’t break our hearts like that Jessie. 

Unfortunately not #HarryPotterForever pic.twitter.com/7CYppm3Dz4

— Jessie Cave (@jessiecave) June 29, 2015

And finally, happy 4th of July to all our readers!
