Meeting more locals at @universalORL with @luke_youngblood

There were plenty of goings on, from cast Q&As

Favorite days spent filming: Michael’s was the first day, Oliver’s was during Yule Ball prior to Christmas.. (Cont’d) pic.twitter.com/lzLnValHKG — MuggleNet Live! (@MuggleNetLive) January 31, 2015

Actor @James_Phelps states that his first day is a favorite, for his nervousness and that it was the last train scene pic.twitter.com/z0dCeHwelm — MuggleNet Live! (@MuggleNetLive) January 31, 2015

To sharing your Potter love with the world.

How awesome is this? @James_Phelps, @OliverPhelps & @boltcity stopped by the #HPCelebration to sign the Muggle wall! pic.twitter.com/uo4tyA17Bf — Scholastic (@Scholastic) January 31, 2015

With plenty of other good stuff taking place in between! For example, imagine being sorted – in the presence of Dumbledore.

Who also casually arrived in the Ford Anglia.

The best entrance of the evening comes from Michael Gambon, who arrived IN the Ford Anglia! #HPCelebration pic.twitter.com/RNttYHbE2L — MuggleNet Live! (@MuggleNetLive) January 30, 2015

Pretty sure most of us would have been too, Evanna!

Cast was asked if they ever get starstruck. Evanna describes being star-struck by Dan Radcliffe and JKR at first pic.twitter.com/BpJ3XM5tEq — MuggleNet Live! (@MuggleNetLive) January 31, 2015

Who wouldn’t want to see this spin-off?

If their chars could have future moments, where would they be? @OliverPhelps wants a spinoff series set in W.’s W.W. pic.twitter.com/GgFLq8KPsB — MuggleNet Live! (@MuggleNetLive) January 31, 2015

Meanwhile, Emma is to become a Disney princess. 

Post by Emma Watson.

“Little town, it’s a quiet village”… tum tee tum tum tum…  #Belle #Disney thank you for all your kind words! #ahh!!!

— Emma Watson (@EmWatson) January 27, 2015

Naturally this news has prompted some Potter-related fan casting…

RT if you want @TomFelton to be the beast! #TFeltonRoleTheBeast #FeltonForTheBeast pic.twitter.com/HU5LGvqzbP — NotYourAverageWizard (@ThatGryffindor) February 1, 2015

Finally, have a read of this because, surely, our hero’s hero must be worth knowing about. 

This woman is one of my biggest heroes and I’m lucky enough to know her personally. http://t.co/1zvxcUu1Bx @lumos — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 30, 2015
