Dublin fans were very excited on Monday as Tallaght Senator Lynn Ruane shared a clip of herself with Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes in a camper van.
The clip was posted to Twitter and showed the senator and the British actress about to set off on the road, with Senator Ruane asking Miriam to 'say hello to Tallaght.' Margolyes gave a memorable performance as as Professor Pomona Sprout in the Harry Potter movie franchise, and she is also one of the most widely regarded actresses on stage and screen in the UK, she has become an hilarious regular guest on chat shows like The Graham Norton Show.

In Senator Ruane's short video, Miriam happily says hello to Tallaght before the politician says: "Me and Mimzo are off on the road." Meanwhile, Senator Ruane told Dublin Live that the duo had a great drive around Tallaght before leaving.
She said: "We'd a great drive around the estate before leaving. Chatting to everyone. Killinarden was buzzing to have her [Miriam Margolyes] about." Followers and Harry potter fans alike instantly began speculating about why the unlikely pair would be together for a road trip in Dublin with comments suggesting it "looks like something good to watch on telly."
Another reply read: "Oh my goodness, what's happening?! Is this the best fever dream ever?" Another person wrote: "As a die-hard Harry Potter fan, this is great to see! Will definitely watch the show they're working on!"
