FULL STORY ======================================================================

Potter fans, brace yourself: the first look teaser for Harry Potters 20th anniversary special, Return to Hogwarts, has arrived.

As per Warner Bros official synopsis, the one-off reunion will tell an enchanting making-of story through all-new in-depth interviews and cast conversations, inviting fans on a magical first-person journey through one of the most beloved film franchises of all time.

Its set to air on HBO Max , Sky and NOW TV on New Years Day, and arrives 20 years after the release of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (styled as Sorcerers Stone in the US).

The short clip shows actors Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Matthew Lewis (Neville) and Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley) receiving their invitations to the
reunion, before a deliberately obscured Emma Watson (Hermione) is seen
walking across platform 9.

They wont be the only cast members to feature, though. Daniel Radcliffe
(Harry Potter, obviously) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) will also be returning to complete the beloved trio, while the likes of Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge) and many more will be on hand to cast nostalgic spells of their own.

Director of the first two movies, Chris Columbus, will join proceedings, too, which were all filmed earlier this year in the familiar environment of
Londons Warner Bros. Studios.

As for what fans can actually expect to see from the special, the above synopsis suggests well be treated to a series of anecdotal conversations between cast members and behind-the-scenes footage revealing how the magic of the franchise was brought to life.

Its been confirmed that J. K. Rowling wont be making a personal appearance in the special presumably in light of the ongoing controversy surrounding comments she made about transgender individuals back in 2019 though she will be shown in archival footage.

Incidentally, Return to Hogwarts wont be the first reunion special to land on HBO Max, either. Its unlikely youll need a time turner to remember that Friends: The Reunion released on the platform earlier this year, so its a
safe bet to assume we can expect a similar format from the Harry Potter equivalent come New Years Day. These are the best HBO Max shows to stream right now
