Welcome back! It is again time to see what some of the Wizarding World stars have been up to, in this edition of MuggleNet’s Social Media Roundup!

Sharing some throwback pictures of himself and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) gave the captions a Harry Potter touch that fans certainly approved of.

On August 18, actor and comedian Sean Lock passed away after battling cancer. Wizarding World stars Stephen Fry (narrator of the UK Harry Potter audiobooks), Oliver Phelps, and Dawn French (the Fat Lady, Prisoner of Azkaban) shared their shock and expressed their condolences over the loss of the comedian who touched their lives.
Oh no, what horrible news… I think it safe to say that the best episodes of QI that I was involved with were always the ones where Sean Lock was a guest. Such complete brilliance in every comic direction. What a loss. My heart goes out to his family.
