Social Media Roundup: Moving Forward
Welcome back! It is time once again to check in and see what some of the Wizarding World stars have been up to in the latest edition of MuggleNet’s Social Media Roundup! There have been some exciting new podcast episodes released during the past two weeks, along with a calming cat video, Harry Potter–themed versions of the latest meme craze, and some of the Wizarding World stars’ thoughts on the swearing-in of the 46th president of the United States.
January 20, 2021, was the inauguration of Joe Biden, who is now the 46th president of the United States. The swearing-in ceremony was aired live for everyone to watch, and some of the Wizarding World stars posted about the inspirational and moving event.
Zoë Kravitz (Leta Lestrange) posted these beautiful words from inaugural poet Amanda Gorman, who read her poem “The Hill We Climb.”
The new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it.

Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) posted his relief and a reminder that the hard work is just beginning.
Democracy has won. Now begins the incredibly hard work of rebuilding the fabric not just of America but of global collaboration to fight disease, climate disaster, injustice, inequality and the easy attraction of hatred. What a relief that sanity is at the wheel.#Inauguration
