Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Harry Potter cast reunite in trailer

Within the first trailer for Harry Potter twentieth Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, the principle trio — Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint — step again into the Wizarding World, from Diagon Alley, Platform 9 ³⁄₄, and ultimately to Hogwarts itself. The three have some emotional phrases to say in regards to the motion pictures … and one another.

“I’ve watched you develop up,” says Grint within the trailer. “And I’ve seen form of each stage of your life.”

They’re not the one forged members to return for this particular occasion. An entire vary of Harry Potter alumni, from large roles to small, will reunite, together with Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood).

The twentieth anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone arrives at a controversial time for the franchise. Whereas new movies set within the Wizarding World proceed to be made — with the following Improbable Beasts film hitting theaters in April — many former followers have actively disavowed the collection because of writer J.Okay. Rowling’s stance on trans rights. Rowling won’t be within the reunion particular, although Warner Bros. has stated she’s going to seem in archive footage.

Harry Potter twentieth Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts will premiere on HBO Max on Jan. 1, 2022.
