Chris Rankin hosted a successful Q&A, which, aside from the alarming number of marriage proposals, brought up some rather pleasing Potter conversation.
“@A_S_H_I_R_A: #askchris did you like harry potter before you got a part?” I wouldn’t have auditioned if I hadn’t been a fan!

But he didn’t miss out on the opportunity to pitch for a job, or two, during the chat!
“@Ezriela: What do you think of JKR’s ‘Fantastic Beasts’ film? Will you see it? (Or audition?) 😉 #AskChris” I’ll be after a job in prod!
