House Slytherin Reminds Us What All Harry Potter Fans Know: Real Power Is in Love and Acceptance

Though Jason Isaacs aka Lucius Malfoy continues to play villainous characters (The OA, A Cure for Wellness) onscreen, in real life he’s fighting against the darkness. Reuniting with his film series son, Tom Felton (The Flash) at Universal Studios’ Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Orlando for A Celebration of Harry Potter event, Isaacs reminded that even fantasy world denizens don’t forget real world issues. Check out his message on Instagram:

Me and the wizarding blond bombshell reunited and wandering around Universal’s #wizardingworldofharrypotter extremely cognito. A welcome escape from the horrors of the world until we answered questions on stage and were reminded what the stories were all about: fighting fascism, embracing diversity and never giving up hope. Suddenly seemed a lot less fantastical. Still, huge love and thanks to all the Potterites who made it a glorious weekend. You’re all brilliant – even the tragically unSlytherin. X

Happily, the Potter actor reunion wasn’t limited to House Slytherin; the Malfoys ran into a Gryffindor-ian and a goblin, too —  namely Matthew Lewis aka Neville Longbottom and Warwick Davis (Griphook/Professor Flitwick):

Here’s the album cover. Now all we have to do is come up with the songs. Titles anyone?

The delightful Isaacs also managed to get in a little Stranger Things reference when a fan (and HP‘s Oliver Wood actor, Sean Biggerstaff) asked where the Potter reunion was taking place …
