Social Media Roundup: Bringing Awareness and Celebrating Father’s Day

by Sarah Wylde · June 28, 2020

Welcome back to another edition of MuggleNet’s Social Media Roundup! Over the past two weeks, the stars of the Wizarding World have made posts to bring awareness to Juneteenth, World Refugee Day, and Pride Month and wished their fathers and husbands a happy Father’s Day. There have also been anniversaries, a pregnancy announcement, project updates, and more quarantine life posts.

With the current coronavirus pandemic, protests, and racial injustice, Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley) checked in with his Twitter followers and responded to some of the comments.

Bonnie Wright shared this powerful photo for Juneteenth. This date, also known as Freedom Day, celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger announced the federal orders in Galveston, Texas, declaring that all slaves in Texas were free.

The actress and activist, along with Jason Isaacs, shared facts about climate refugees and the state of those still displaced for World Refugee Day, which takes place June 20 annually. Each year, there is a specific message the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) shares to bring awareness to issues facing displaced people. This year, the message was that every action counts.

I know we’re all scared and there’s a plague wreaking havoc while idiots invite a 2nd wave but it’s #WorldRefugeeDay and a moment to think about the 80 million displaced people in the world. Go to https://t.co/F7O0juCc8o to help and my amazing friend @NazaninBoniadi made this. https://t.co/QxpWiNVHer

Harry Potter cast members Katie Leung (Cho Chung), Evanna Lynch, Bonnie Wright, Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), and Anna Shaffer (Romilda Vane) used their social media to express their love and appreciation for fathers on Father’s Day.

To the dads of teenagers who’ve found the balance between providing healthy boundaries and allowing them to make mistakes, between listening like a friend and talking like a mentor, between admitting you don’t know and insisting you do…fuck both of you liars#HappyFathersDay

Showing his support and acknowledging the work that still needs to be done, Chris Rankin wished everyone a happy Pride Month.

Jessie Cave announced some exciting family news. She shared that she is again expecting and showed off her beautiful growing baby bump!

After deleting her Twitter account earlier this month, Evanna Lynch will have a website coming soon. She has been revaluating her connection with social media after receiving multiple angry responses to an earlier tweet.

Knowledge is power, and Evanna also shared the books that she has been reading and learning from in quarantine.

Katie Leung shared a petition that stressed the importance of getting support before most of Britain’s theaters and performing arts companies are forced to close because of COVID-19.
