Alumni Roundup: Welcome to Hufflepuff, Rupert!
Welcome to a special edition of the Alumni Roundup, featuring some of the highlights from this weekend’s A Celebration of Harry Potter in Orlando.
The age of Hufflepuff is well and truly underway thanks to Newt Scamander, but this weekend a new member was welcomed.
