Alumni Roundup: Going Back to Hogwarts!

by · April 10, 2016

It doesn’t seem like that long ago that we had many of the Potter alumni gathered together at A Celebration of Harry Potter in Orlando back in January. Now they’re back together for the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood. Here are some of the alumni highlights from the week!

There’s nothing better than hearing those magical tunes in front of Hogwarts, thanks to composer John Williams.

James Phelps admired the new and improved skyline.

Nice new addition to the LA skyline don’t you think? #hogwartscomestohollywood #wheresmybutterbeer #gs7camerarules

They also found time to hand out wands to fans who had been waiting in line.

Meanwhile, Evanna Lynch had a good time enjoying the candy on offer at the park…

A certain Ellie Darcey-Alden took over MuggleNet’s Snapchat for the day.

Lily and Draco?

And finally, the park itself was officially opened to the public!

It looks like our alumni certainly enjoyed themselves this week. It’s great to see so many of them back together once again. Look out for MuggleNet’s coverage of the opening event coming soon!
