Twitter

Since April 2009 I have been on Twitter. You get to talk to a lot of people there, including some of the cast of Harry Potter, among those being Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley), James Phelps (Fred Weasley) and Oliver Phelps (George Weasley). They have between 30,000 and 500,000 followers and get loads of tweets a day from fans, but they do their best to answer as many tweets as possible.

I must admit that I only follow the three "Weasley-brothers" and I have the good fortune of tweeting with all three of them: Oliver Phelps once or twice a week, James Phelps usually once a month and Chris Rankin every third month or so. I’ve talked to Chris Rankin about his band, his role as Percy, J. K. Rowling, his university studies and about snow. I’ve talked to James Phelps about his followers, about female skeletons, LOST, Ned from South Park, Christmas, falling asleep on trains, ghost walks, and his brother’s forgetfulness. And I’ve talked to Oliver Phelps about football (mainly Aston Villa as we’re both fans), boxing, golf, his car (an MX5 Roadster named Sidney), Weezer and Creed albums, Ginger Ninja, Alter Bridge and Rage Against the Machine concerts, Download Festival, the flu, cooking, college curriculums, German television, presents for Christmas and Valentine’s Day, Californian singer/songwriters, Angry Birds, Australia and profile pics.
