Fair to say many questions were raised before, during and after Tottenham’s defeat to Leicester City yesterday.
As of this writing, Ange Postecoglou is still the manager (but how close to the sack is he?). Fan resentment towards Daniel Levy reached a crescendo (literally), and we don’t seem anywhere near signing a new player to help this depleted squad.
But we did learn one thing: Rupert Grint supports Tottenham Hotspur.
I really do pity the guy (but props to that kit, am I right?).
It also got me thinking which football clubs other members of the Harry Potter franchise support. So I did some light digging around for you all.
Daniel Radcliffe: Fulham: The boy wizard’s hometown club.
Emma Watson: Chelsea: Disappointing.
Oliver and James Phelps (who played Rupert’s brothers): Birmingham and Aston Villa. That’s certainly an odd pairing with the two rival teams.
I don’t really know who else was part of the cast, or who they support. I could not find information for Ralph Fiennes (who played Voldemort), but apparently his nephew is a West Ham fan.
