Alumni Roundup: Books on the Train

In this week’s Alumni Roundup, we take a trip on the London Underground, celebrate successes, and get a sneak peak at upcoming projects.

Emma Watson announced her latest choice in her Our Shared Shelf feminist book club – Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou.

@oursharedshelf’s Nov & Dec book is #Mom&Me&Mom by Maya Angelou

Emma spent a day leaving copies of the book on public transport across London.

 

I’ve been hiding copies of Mom & Me & Mom for @booksontheunderground on the tube today! See if you can find one tomorrow! ?? @oursharedshelf

Bonnie Wright composed a heartfelt piece about J.K. Rowling’s charity, Lumos.

I wrote a piece on @Lumos work in Haiti & why in the wake of #HurricaneMatthew children need our support now https://t.co/gCjCsqoy3o

Tom Felton was on set, posing with a guitar – although we’re not sure what for… watch this space!

And finally, Matt Lewis was the latest of our alumni to take a visit down memory lane and catch up with the Harry Potter world in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

 

A giant congratulations and an even bigger thank you to these guys and the rest of the cast of #CursedChild. To be in the movies was a dream come true but it became work and I forgot what it was to be a fan a long time ago. However, over the last two nights I was able to enjoy the world of Harry Potter once again. To lose myself in a story so rich and so powerful and, more importantly, that I had nothing to do with was truly magical. I felt like I was nine years old again, discovering it all for the first time and it is very, very special.
