As Potterheads will likely know by now, the 20th anniversary of the first Harry Potter film is set to be celebrated with a reunion special in early 2022.
The HBO Max program titled Return to Hogwarts will see original cast members Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson join film-maker Chris Columbus to chat about all things HP and the creation of the film series.
As Nine Honey writes, HBO Max has shared that the feature will “tell an enchanting making-of story through all-new, in-depth interviews and cast conversations”.
Alison Hurbert-Burns, Binge Executive Director said of the reunion:
“The Harry Potter franchise is a global sensation, with a fanbase that spans every corner of the globe. BINGE is thrilled to be able to bring these special events to the millions of Australian fans who have read the books, watched the films and grown-up with the magic of Harry Potter – continuing our commitment of delivering the world’s best shows and TV’s biggest moments to viewers.
“Next year will be the year to celebrate Harry Potter and the joy it brought to people around the world – and it will all be on BINGE.”
