Social Roundup: Superfans
This week has been all about the fans and the Harry Potter fandom on social media. The week kicked off with Tom Felton’s BBC Three documentary, Tom Felton Meets the Superfans, which featured interviews with J.K. Rowling, Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint, as well as several Potter superfans that Tom met along the way.
There were plenty of reminders from the Potter family to watch the program, as well as compliments on the documentary:
Tune into BBC3 tonight at 9pm to watch @TomFelton doc #TomFeltonMeetstheSuperfans 👏

And afterwards, we were reminded that the Potter film family is still very strong:

Plus, there was a little interaction between a certain on-screen father and son:
@jasonsfolly you were too soft with me. Cheers father x
— Tom Felton (@TomFelton) March 26, 2015
@jasonsfolly such a supportive father 🙂

Tom shared some pictures of Rupert and himself, telling fans where they can catch up with the documentary (only in the UK unfortunately):

The show was followed by Matt Lewis’s Bluestone 42, making it a Potter filled night:

In other news, a Harry Potter music video went viral, causing J.K. Rowling herself to respond:
.@JasmineMilton_ Yes, I've seen it, and in my opinion it is a work of genius.

Daniel shared a snap from China:
And finally, Natalia Tena, who played Tonks in the films, was announced for MuggleNet Live! as the event draws closer:
