Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint returned to the Wizarding World as they joined their Harry Potter co-stars in a heartwarming clip from the first official trailer for Return To Hogwarts. The trailer shows the stars, who played Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, chatting about the film series in the Great Hall with the show, due to air on New Year’s Day, filmed at the Warner Bros Studio Tour.
Emma, who was 11 when the debut film was released, wiped away tears during shooting as the trio recalled the movies that shot them to stardom. The reunion will also feature stars from the franchise, including Helena Bonham Carter aka Bellatrix Lestrange, Robbie Coltrane who played Hagrid, Ralph Fiennes starred as Voldemort, Gary Oldman aka Sirius Black, Tom Felton who played Draco Malfoy, and Bonnie Wright aka Ginnie Weasley.
James Phelps and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley), Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) also appear in the official poster of the Harry Potter reunion, which is set in Hogwarts’ Great Hall. Notably, a person not included in the poster, however, was Harry Potter author JK Rowling, who has been kept away from the special amid an ongoing transphobia row that has seen her get canceled.
Meanwhile, in the trailer, Emma Watson says, “It feels like no time has passed and loads of time has passed.” Daniel admits “the implication that the most meaningful thing in our life was done” had frightened him when the series ended but said seeing everyone at the reunion made him realize the story because ‘wasn’t though.’ Emma added, ”When things get really dark, and times are really hard, there’s something about Harry Potter that makes life richer.” Rupert says, “It’s a strong bond that we’ll always have” as the trio embrace in the Gryffindor common room.
Directors Chris Columbus, David Heyman, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, and David Yates will also appear. The trailer also sees Helena don her Bellatrix teeth once more as Daniel cracks up laughing, while Ralph admits his nieces and nephews urged him to take the role. The official trailer of the Harry Potter reunion comes as the first official poster for the Harry Potter reunion special has been released, featuring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint front and center ahead of filming Return to Hogwarts.
Fans of the franchise will no doubt be delighted to see Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley together once again alongside a host of their wizarding friends. In the trailer, the stars of the highly successful fantasy film franchise were seen speaking to each other in a room that had been decorated to resemble the mythical location of Hogwarts. The upcoming special was initially announced to have been in the works last month, and it will have its premiere on the HBO Max streaming service in the New Year.
