Social Roundup: Good Deeds and Bad Luck

by Kevin Assam · October 11, 2015

The alumni of the Harry Potter films demonstrate an exceptional level of social advocacy and support for their fan-base. This week was no exception and saw the likes of Evanna Lynch, James and Oliver Phelps and J.K. Rowling rising to occasion once more. On the flip side, there were a few individuals who despite their enormous cache of karmic points, experienced the unexpected.

This week’s good Samaritans, Evanna Lynch and Robbie Jarvis, took to the streets outside the European Commission offices to protest the EU’s export of live cattle. We imagine this is the muggle equivalent of Luna joining the campaign for House Elves’ rights.

Here's our special guest @Evy_Lynch at #CowOnTour in London. Join us to #stopliveexports! https://t.co/eGOnkJWxp0 pic.twitter.com/6DRreIPTfo

J.K. Rowling also succumbed to the trend of good deeds (not that this is anything out of the ordinary) and finally revealed Sirius Black’s birthday. Scorpios rejoice!

WE WON!!!!!! And Sirius Black was born on the 3rd of November xxxxxxxx

She also decided to phone her good friend, Mr. Galbraith, and organize a scavenger hunt. How far this hunt spans exactly is yet to be seen.

Budding detective? @RGalbraith fans should take note of a new sign #18denmarkstreet today, share #makemeadetective .. pic.twitter.com/QOkgVGq8o6

We also learnt one of Jo’s “favored” poems as part of National Poetry Day….

By @Okwonga, from his book Eating Roses for Dinner. #NationalPoetryDay pic.twitter.com/Hj1zoV7RAq

…along with her thrilled reaction to the release of the newly illustrated Potter novels.

Today everyone will be able to see Harry Potter through Jim Kay's extraordinary eyes! The man's a genius. #harrypotterillustrated

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 6, 2015

Meanwhile James and Oliver Phelps continued to provide their support to the Well Child Awards. Oliver managed to snag a fitting new accessory.

Keeping up to date with @WellChild awards in london tonight. Well done to all the winners!!! 👍☺

Unfortunately, there were a few poor souls who weren’t quite able to cash in on their countless Karma points. Matthew Lewis was made an example of by a certain statistic.

They say you’re more likely to crash on way to the airport than to have the plane crash. My uber driver was such a cliché. Buckle up, kids.

And Warwick David had his beloved caravan nicked despite taking all the usual precautions.

My touring caravan was stolen in Cambridgeshire last night even though it was locked up with hitch & wheel lock! I want to swear… #rotters

— Warwick Davis (@WarwickADavis) October 9, 2015

My stolen caravan: Swift/Archway Cranford 545. Could have headed north or south on A1, south on M11 or west on A14. pic.twitter.com/ly0bmLXd1d

If it was any consolation, he at least unleashed his entire following onto the perpetrator.

Thanks Stephen. Who's gonna do the 'hunting down' though? Rather you than me, I've got to look after this face! https://t.co/gkolMyCQZt

— Warwick Davis (@WarwickADavis) October 10, 2015

Dear Twitter Friends… Thanks for all your amazing support and help today re. my stolen caravan… you are all wonderful people! x
