And just like that, 2020 got a little bit better.
I know we’re not all Harry Potter fans (myself included) but this news will make some of your wizard obsessed friends happy. And by extension, it can make you happy knowing that they will be happy.
(And for all us who aren’t obsessed with Harry Potter, we can look forward to the day when there’s news about free pizza. Everyone loves free pizza.)
Let’s be honest, it’s been a tough few weeks and it’s looking like things are going to get a little bit tougher before they get better. But at least there’s a few hints of good news every now and then… and if you’re a Harry Potter fan then this news will brighten up your day a little.
One of the series’ stars Tom Felton wants to get all the cast together for the 19th anniversary of the very first film this year.
He told Entertainment Tonight recently that he’s still in touch with his wizard mates and “planning some sort of digital celebration.”
November 14 marks the 19th anniversary of the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and the actor who played meanie Draco Malfoy wants to celebrate in 2020 style via Zoom… or some sort of other video app.
“It’s been nice because it’s the 19-year anniversary on November 14, so I’m planning some sort of digital celebration,” he said. “I’m trying to wrangle all the oldies back together again to celebrate the achievement really.”
Sometimes it’s sad to hear when cast members grow apart and don’t see each other at all, but thankfully this isn’t the case for the Harry Potter cast.
Not only is Tom still in touch with his cast mates, but you will be happy to hear that he even meets up with some of them on the regular.
“I saw the Weasley twins the other day,” he said. “We went out to play some golf.
“Always chatting with a lot of the other guys on WhatsApp and staying in touch with them and making sure everything’s alright.”
