Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts - General Discussion

[tkc]

I so enjoy shows like this — I love the nostalgia, the stories, and the emotions shown by the actors as they reminisce!

I loved this and thought it was so well done! You really got to see how they grew up together and the bonds they formed. Not gonna lie, I got a little teary eyed at the end.

This was some good nostalgia!

The Trio talking to each other and reminiscing was sooo great.

Return To Hogwarts producers responded to that Emma Watson/Emma Roberts mishap in the HBO Max special. "Well spotted Harry Potter fans! You brought an editing mistake of a mislabelled photograph to our attention. New version up shortly."

 

'Harry Potter' Stars James & Oliver Phelps Spot Another Mistake in Reunion Special

It looks like the Emma Watson – Emma Roberts photo mix-up wasn’t the only mistake in the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts reunion special.

There was also another one involving twins James and Oliver Phelps, who played Fred and George Weasley in the popular series, and Oliver pointed it out on Instagram over the weekend.

Turns out, after all these years, that not a lot of people can tell James and Oliver apart.

“I guess after all those pranks over the years somebody decided to get their revenge 🤨🤣🤷🤪

Saw clips of the show but I can’t wait to see the whole thing on TBS on the spring.

Any idea when it'll be on TBS?

Nope, no date yet. They just said spring.

Oh well.  Something to look forward to!

I liked it, but I felt like a lot was missing. The focus was on the kids, as it should have been, since it was a life changing experience for them, but I would have liked a slightly longer segment on all the British acting royalty that appeared throughout the series. Was Emma Thompson even pictured? 

I probably could have watched 2 hours of Daniel Radcliff and Helena Bonham Carter horsing around though. They seemed like a lot of fun.

While the HP Reunion special definitely deserves its own thread, those who've posted here may be interested to know that there is also quite a bit of discussion of the special in the HP Movies forum. Scroll about a quarter of the way down page 10 to see the comments.

Finally watching this on TBS tonight, and I love it. I know it’s complicated to be a Harry Potter fan right now, but in spite of everything, there’s still so much good in the books and movies to be found. The footage of people waiting at the bookstores for midnight release parties makes me so emotional.

Seeing Dan, Rupert, and Emma together again was so great. Their screen test was priceless. They really had the Trio down cold from the beginning.
