It’s hard to wrap your head around the fact that it’s been 20 years since we were introduced to Daniel Radcliffe as the legendary Harry Potter. For those who were captivated by the magical world of Hogwarts, it’s hard to believe how much time has flown by. Recently, on New Year’s Day, Sky broadcasted a special event called Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts.
The recent HBO Max reunion of the cast of Harry Potter was a heartwarming event that celebrated their journey through the making of eight blockbuster films over ten years. The reunion included moments such as waltzing in the Great Hall, revealing secrets in the Gryffindor common room, and stories of director Mike Newell cracking his ribs while play-fighting with James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley). The most memorable moments of the reunion, however, were courtesy of Emma Watson, who opened up about her experiences playing Hermione Granger. Watson spoke about how she wanted the part so badly at the age of 10 that it worried her parents, the time she fell in love with Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), and the moment she considered leaving the franchise due to the overwhelming fame. The most emotional scene was when Watson and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) reflected on growing up together and agreeing that they would always be family. Seeing Watson wipe away a tear as they hugged is sure to bring viewers to tears, even casual ones.
As we delve deeper into each moment of the TV special, Watson has a chat with Vogue about the most touching scenes, her potential return to Hogwarts in two decades, and her and Felton’s thoughts on the public’s response to their notable remarks regarding each other.
According to Watson, returning to the Harry Potter set was an absolute delight and felt like being in paradise.
