Whoopi Goldberg just proved that she’s the ultimate Harry Potter fan

The actress looked magical.

Whoopi Goldberg just proved that she is the ultimate Harry Potter fan by turning up to an event in full HP gear. Yes, The View host proved she just like one of us when she arrived at the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child opening night at the Lyric Theatre in New York wearing a Gryffindor robe and we love her for it. “I just spent the whole day in the theatre watching Harry Potter and the Cursed Child part one and two,” she wrote on Twitter. “The show is off the hook, the cast is magnificent, the magic that happens on stage is EVERYTHING you want in the theatre and more. “And experience to be shared with you and your family. See it.”

Whoopi’s killer outfit was naturally praised by pretty much everyone on Twitter, however, the post did raise one very important question - why did the star never have a role in the movie franchise?

Whoopi arriving for #CursedChildNYC & being helped on with her house robe before hitting the red carpet was utterly awesome!

Many fans also asked about her particular choice of robe, suggesting that Whoopi would definitely not be in Gryffindor.

Sort Whoopi for me. I’m thinking Gryffindor but could also see Hufflepuff.

She appears to be wearing a Gryffindor robe but my guess might by Hufflepuff. She exudes a certain badgerness.
