On Thursday, December 23, YouTuber and Dancing with the Stars participant Olivia Jade appeared on E!’s Down In The DMs. In a segment while speaking about her habit of frequently checking her social media direct messages, she revealed one that she had received from Harry Potter star Tom Felton.
As shown on the show, the 34-year-old British star texted Olivia,
“Hello, mate. Dig your work.”
The message was followed by a snake emoji, which Olivia Jade admitted to not having understood the relevance of in the context of the message.
The snake emoji at the end of Tom’s message was a reference to his Harry Potter film series’ character Draco Malfoy’s school house of Slytherin in Hogwarts. While almost every person who watched the iconic fantasy series already knows that Slytherin has a serpent in its emblem, the 22-year-old YouTuber was not aware of this.
