by Sarah Wylde · February 9, 2020

Welcome to another Social Media Roundup. In this week’s edition, stars of the Wizarding World share images and videos of what they have been doing over the past few weeks, including going on podcasts talking about mental health, remembering basketball player Kobe Bryant, spending time with their four-legged furever friends, catching up on and going to shows, and more.

Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley) was catching up on the reality singing show Masked Singer.
