by · July 25, 2021

Welcome back to another edition of MuggleNet’s Social Media Roundup! Catch up with some of your favorite Wizarding World stars as they sign over 3,000 books, record podcast episodes, and spot Potter references in the wild. 

Bonnie Wright took a break from writing her book and shared a photo from her visit to Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. The newly expanded Studio Tour reopened in June and contains a new “Action and Magic Made Here” grand finale that offers fans a behind-the-scenes look at the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts movies.

Bonnie isn’t the only Potter alumna taking a break from writing. Evanna Lynch took a break from editing her book, The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting, to explore the countryside and put a “swing” back in her step.

While Bonnie and Evanna are still working on their writing endeavors, David Thewlis (Remus Lupin) is one step closer to the publication date for his latest novel, Shooting Martha. He shared photos and a timelapse video from a day he spent with his publishers in which he signed 3,500 copies of the book.

We get excited when we come across Potter references in the Muggle world, and it seems as though James Phelps (Fred Weasley) is just the same. We bet the owner of this car has been on some magical adventures!
