In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone , HBO Max is getting Dumbledore’s Army back together for a TV special, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts. Because who doesn’t love revisiting problematic old faves?
The special, set to premiere January 1, will feature a reunion with Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint — a.k.a. Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, respectively — who, I assume, have not been in a room together since the end of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 press tour in 2011. Their fellow Hogwarts alums Tom Felton , Oliver Phelps , James Phelps , Alfred Enoch , Bonnie Wright , and Evanna Lynch will also make appearances.
Notably absent from the announcement is Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. Though no one needs to be reminded the woman who invented the Wizarding World is also offended by the phrase “people who menstruate,” so it’s not a huge loss. Who asked for this? Who knows! The point is it’s happening, and it’s going to be magical. According to a report from The Sun, Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint will be heading back to Warner Bros. Studio in London, supposedly to film in iconic locations like the Great Hall and Platform 9 & ¾.
Return to Hogwarts already sounds more thorough than the Friends reunion but less fun than the Lord of the Rings virtual reunion. Though that might be due to the fact that Return to Hogwarts is just one of the specials planned to celebrate the franchise’s 20th anniversary.
