J.K. Rowling may be the creator of Harry Potter, but she doesn’t know the most. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is a bigger Potterhead.
If Tom Holland went on Mastermind, it’s clear what his specialist subject would be. It’s all about Harry Potter. He knows so much that he’s sure he knows more than J.K. Rowling.
Just because Rowling is the creator doesn’t mean she knows everything, right? Maybe she gets her own books mixed around or forgets some of the minute details. Well, Holland seems to think that’s the case, as he talked about the upcoming Harry Potter pub quiz that he’s taking part in.

According to CinemaBlend, it sounds like Holland is challenging the creator to a quiz. How fun would it be to see the two go head-to-head? Could our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man be able to out Potter Rowling?
Growing up, Harry Potter was Holland’s favorite franchise. The first book may have been released the year after his birth, but that didn’t stop him from reading as soon as he could. And he devoured every book, watched every movie, and has grown up with the expansion of the universe.

It shouldn’t be surprising to hear that he’s also taken the Sorting Hat quiz on Pottermore. Want to take a guess at which house he’s in? His personality certainly suits that of Spider-Man. He’s a Gryffindor.
One thing that is a shame is that we won’t get to see Holland play the titular role if the franchise was ever rebooted. The only thing to consider is if Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is ever given the movie treatment. Maybe in a few years he could play a grown-up Harry.
Until then, we’ll just have to watch Holland in all the various movies that he’s in. Or listen to his voice.
