Social Media Roundup: Anyone for Cricket?
Welcome back to another edition of MuggleNet’s Social Media Roundup! Catch up with some of your favorite Wizarding World stars as they celebrate the excitement of new books, TV shows, and movies, as well as return to old favorites. Plus, who is a Gryffindor in Slytherin robes? (And no, it’s not Tom Felton!)
First up, congratulations to Evanna Lynch, who has begun a tour for her book, The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting: The Tragedy and the Glory of Growing Up. Lynch attended a book launch that was both held in person and streamed online for fans.

She also shared something that will be familiar to most, if not all, pet owners. Is it possible to keep your animal friends off the bed?

Bonnie and Evanna are not the only Wizarding World alumni celebrating newly released or upcoming projects. Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) shared that his feature film Mass is now showing in theaters across America.
#MassTheMovie has now expanded across America. The smallest film with the biggest impact I’ve ever been lucky enough to be a part of. It’s everything a story should be: gripping, moving and hopeful. See it in a cinema and prepare to feel more human and less alone.#BringTissues pic.twitter.com/sCFZwOkU59

But it’s not just all things new that Wizarding World alumni have been celebrating these past few weeks.
It was an emotional night for the cast and crew of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London as they returned to the stage in front of an audience after “577 days, 19 months” of suspended performances due to the coronavirus pandemic.

While many Potter fans will already know that Felton’s true Hogwarts House is Gryffindor, we were surprised to learn that he is not the only Gryffindor in Slytherin robes. Josh Herdman (Gregory Goyle) revealed in a comment on Felton’s post that he is also a lion at heart!
Also sharing a return with his followers was Matthew Lewis, whose character Hugh Hulton returned for a game of cricket in the TV series All Creatures Great and Small.
