HBO Max made a happy fan community once again. First there were the fans of Friends, who were able to learn anecdotes, favorite moments and secrets from the filming of the popular series with a special show starring the six protagonists.
Now it’s the turn of one of the most acclaimed sagas in all of history. We are talking about the films of Harry potter, which launched Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson to fame through their respective roles as Harry, Ron and Hermione.
It is precisely these three who will once again be the main protagonists of the special that HBO is about to celebrate, which has been 20 years since the first of the franchise’s films. But what else do we know about Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts?
When will the Harry Potter special air?
This November 16, the big news jumped out: Harry Potter is back. Well, not exactly. HBO prepared the special Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, which will be broadcast soon on HBO Max January 1, 2022.
What better way to start the year (and have a better hangover from last night’s party) than this.
Who will be in the Harry Potter special?
The special of Harry potter it will be more similar to the one HBO Max has already created on Friends: Reunion (and not a sequel like And just like that …), where we got to see the main cast of the show talking about their memories of filming.
Thus, the presence of Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) has already been confirmed, arguably the ones the public wants to see the most again.
But they won’t be the only ones. HBO has also confirmed Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) and Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas).
There will also be Ron’s beloved family: Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley), James Phelps (Fred Weasley), Oliver Phelps (George Weasley) and Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley).
No podían faltar Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) and Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge).
The presence of Maggie Smith (Minerva McGonagall) or Michael Gambon (Dumbledore from the third film) has not yet been confirmed. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to count on other key players in this saga like Alan Rickman (Severus Snape), who died in 2016, or Richard Harris (Dumbledore in the first two films), also deceased in 2002.
We know that he will direct Chris Columbus, the director of the first two films. Oddly, it doesn’t look like JK Rowling is going to make the special (although not so oddly given his controversial statements against the trans community).
