Social Media Roundup: Cars, Coding, and Costumes

by Shelby Dale DeWeese · September 23, 2018

It’s a new edition of Social Media Roundup, which means a chance to catch up with all your wizarding world faves! This time, we see behind-the-scenes images of Harry Potter stars’ newest projects, some spooky Halloween activities, adorable new products, and more. Read on to learn what everyone has been up to this September.

Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) showed off a fancy ride he might (or might not) get to drive in an upcoming scene.

Earlier this month, we learned that Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) will be competing in Season 27 of Dancing with the Stars. Since then, we’ve gotten a few sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes looks, including a great post showing off her oh-so-glitzy costume.

Halloween may still be over a month away, but Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) dressed as Wonder Woman to announce the newest selection for her book club, Our Shared Shelf. The spooky pick is Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, which Watson describes as “a gothic thriller with three well-drawn female characters and some prophetic feminist themes.”

Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) was also in the Halloween spirit, visiting Universal Studios Hollywood to enjoy Halloween Horror Nights.

James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) showed off Kano’s Harry Potter coding kit, making the connection between the wizarding world and Muggle-world STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skills.

Whoo! Many of our favorite Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts stars seem to have been very busy! But it’s also important to take time to relax. Katie Leung (Cho Chang) took some well-earned cuddle time with this adorable pup last Sunday.
