Rowling, and Eddie Redmayne Just Had an Absolute Blast Together  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Feb 13, 2017 6:21 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Feb 13, 2017 6:21 PM UTC Two British stars and an American celebrity walk into an awards ceremony. They take a selfie. The internet erupts with outpourings of joy. The famous faces in question are _Harry Potter_ writer J.K. Rowling, [_Fantastic Beasts_ actor](http://time.com/4380221/jk-rowling-fantastic-beasts-and-where-to-find-them/?iid=sr-link5) Eddie Redmayne, and [_La La Land_ star Emma Stone](http://time.com/4588441/emma-stone-la-la-land-interview/?iid=sr-link1)—and the awards ceremony was [the BAFTAs](http://time.com/4668315/la-la-land-bafta-manchester-by-the-sea/?iid=sr-link1). The resulting selfie is a pure moment of joy and happenstance, shared by Rowling to her Twitter in a break from her [avid political activism](http://time.com/4657055/j-k-rowling-twitter-harry-potter-book-burning/?iid=sr-link3) on the platform. > [](https://twitter.com/jk%5Frowling/status/830935421664239617) The silver lining of awards season is this chance for celebrities to hobnob in unexpected groups, while the rest of us dream of the conversations, mutual admiration, and potential collaborations that can come from the encounters. In this case, Redmayne and Rowling are already friendly—he plays main character Newt Scamander in her _Fantastic Beasts_ franchise, after all—but Stone is a wild card. > [](https://twitter.com/Smadrid90/status/830939034927128576) > [](https://twitter.com/harryxhermione/status/830936165477814272) > [](https://twitter.com/Fassyduckling/status/830937406442455040) Now that we know they all get along, the only question is if (and when) Stone will be joining the magical universe, too. > [](https://twitter.com/deobaldia/status/830991524850708480) J.K. Rowling, Emma Stone, Eddie Redmayne Real Friends ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4669308/j-k-rowling-emma-stone-bafta/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4669308/j-k-rowling-emma-stone-bafta/"},"headline":"Emma Stone, J.K.
