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.

RUPERT GRINT WAS SORTED IN HUFFLEPUFF on @pottermore! REPEAT: Rupert is a #Hufflepuff! This is not a drill!

and what Ron’s theme tune would be.
