It has just been announced that the original cast of the Harry Potter film series will be reunited 20 years after the first film was released. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson join filmmaker Chris Columbus and other esteemed cast members from across all eight Harry Potter films and will travel back to Hogwarts for the first time to celebrate the anniversary of the franchise’s first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, which premiered 20 years ago on 16th November 2001.

This retrospective special titled 'Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts' will be released on 1 January 2022 on HBO Max in the US and will invite fans “on a magical first-person journey through one of the most beloved film franchises of all time."
