LONDON -- It's always fun when two of your favourite celebrities interact with each other -- especially when it's two people you wouldn't normally associate with one another.

Actress Amy Schumer is currently in the UK as part of her stand-up tour. On Tuesday night, she had a show in Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh.

And guess who had tickets?

Imagine being in the crowd to watch Amy Schumer, then turning around and realising you were stood beside J.K. Rowling.

Judging by Schumer's reply, she clearly loves Harry Potter just as much as the rest of us.

At this point, Rowling responded with a sentence most Harry Potter fans would give their wand-arms to be on the receiving end of.

People didn't know how to handle it.

The only thing that could possibly have made the whole exchange better is if they'd grabbed a selfie together.
