Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts (DAD AND SON FIRST TIME WATCHING)

[@bernicequigley4629]

Since this was filmed we lost Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) and Michael Gambon (Dumbledore#2). It was a wonderful production.

[@OmegaS-117]

We also lost the VA For The Sorting Hat as well

[@SandraMorris51]

This was so beautifully done. Seeing Robbie Coltrane’s final words here was heartbreaking but so true… ALL of them will always be in my heart ♥️

[@SofaandChill]

Totally agree Sandra x

[@SandraMorris51]

@@SofaandChill … and sorry for not being up here much the last few months. I’m having a lot of health/mental stuff right now. Still love you guys!

[@julianaFinn]

That line, "Always" still gets me. Every time.

[@chillsimmer1471]

Gary Oldman has commented in an interview before that he’s most impressed with Daniel Radcliffe because he has “eff you money” from HP but he remains the most down to earth guy ever and still. The adults in the series did a great job raising these kids…

[@flugsven]

Bonnie Wright put on a brave face for a long time. I heard or read not that long ago that she was really, really dissappointed how Ginny was transformed from the Swan in the book, to the duckling in the movie. Book Ginny would, of course, have been awesome to play.

[@Thaleya1]

to be honest it would suck how so many are in unison about what a disappointment as a character Ginny in the movies were from the books. Partly it was the stale chemistry between her and radcliffe, but mostly it was probably how the role was depicted and told to her to perform it.

[@micheletrainor1601]

We lost so many of these amazing actors also Mrs Wensley Julie Walters was battling cancer at the time. I remember when Alan Rickman passed away at wizarding world at paramount studious had lilleys lay next to his monument with a card saying Always. I also remember that when each potter star has left us fans around the world at a certain time and date raised their wands to the sky to show respect to them all as they meant so much to us all around the world. Such a beautiful.

[@SandraMorris51]

Actually Julie Walter’s is still alive 🙂 I hope she’s cancer free. Oh.. just saw she’s still ill 😞

[@antoinetteserrano3082]

Actually Maggie Smith was battling breast cancer during the filming of the series.

[@kathleenclark815]

​@@SandraMorris51You can battle cancer and still be alive...

[@micheletrainor1601]

@@SandraMorris51 yes Julie Walters is still with us I didn't say she was dead I said while they were filming this episode she was in hospital with it and is still ill now. as for Maggie Smith she had it but as far as i know is cancer free now. We however did unfortunately lose Dracos mother to cancer not long before the filming of it. So many legends have sadly passed from the series but live on forever in their legacy of work and in our hearts.

[@janethernandez724]

Wonderful reaction, yes, since this anniversary special, we lost Robbie Coltrain (Hagrid) and Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) since the last movie Ruper Grint (Ron) became a father, Emma is now dating a gentleman by the name of Brandon Green, Daniel Radcliffe is now a father, Matthew Lewis (Neville) is married, they are all so grown up now and living their lives!

[@mardyjane7664]

Yeah, also Bonnie Wright has a kid now :)

[@georgechristianjr]

Parents ,They all had amazing supportive Parents & the British ICONS they got to work with

[@cerealkiller193]

Yeah I might have cried a little bit. I'm the same age as Daniel Radcliffe so growing up watching them was a huge part of my childhood. The nostalgia is very real. I have the utmost respect for the cast for choosing to do all 8 films when the fame and the time spent making them must've taken its toll at times. ❤ Harry Potter did magic right ❤

[@polina_pr]

that's so cool that you guys live near those amazing cathedrals and places! how about a mini-vlog hahaha

[@SofaandChill]

Wr may just have to do that 😊

[@grahamgresty8383]

Did you know that the portraits at Hogwarts are actually the support crew (make-up artists, camera operatives, etc)! Look forwards to your viewing of Fantastic Beasts.

[@adventuresinlaurenland]

JK wasn't involved because of her controversial comments, everyone distanced themselves from her. Emma was bombarded with media attention which is why she wanted to leave. She didnt feel safe. There was a website that had a countdown to her 18th birthday, and as soon as she turned 18 the paparazzi started taking photos up her skirt.

[@Atrulion]

That didn't have anything to do with Rowling though, did it?

[@kerryshepherd5676]

Love the reunion its so good, glad you watched it.

[@MotoNomad350]

More than any of the other kids, Emma just popped! You could tell she was special from that first screen test. It’s almost tragic how lonely and difficult the experience apparently was for her because her talent was simply immense.

[@kathleenclark815]

​@@16-BitGuyI feel like they're just saying we basically watch this kid grow up on this channel. At the beginning of their Harry Potter journey Lewis sounded like a kid and now he's a full entire teen. They aren't being creepy or weird, they're just pointing out how fast all of our kids grow up.

[@raphael_2d878]

This is so cool. Thanx so much for putting it on youtube so fast.

No problem, we loved it so much!

[@its_eli]

Well done. The ending was very touching. Where has the time gone 😅. Cheers mates 🍻

Was the perfect ending to a near perfect franchise

[@biancawichard4057]

thank you guys it was a blast watching the movies with you

[@apatternedhorizon]

Glad you guys did this.

[@jennyny886]

Been waiting for this from you guys ❤

[@cmbtking]

This special was everything we wanted.

[@wildbronco038]

Fun fact- The photo of Emma at 3:21 is actually a mistake. That's Emma Roberts (probably best known for the Scream franchise and American Horror Story), not Emma Watson.

[@Ezra_Malfoy97]

I highly recommend you guys watch David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived Documentary, don't need to react to it if you don't want to, although I'd love it if you did, but it's about Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double who was left paralyzed after a stunt on the last HP movie went wrong. Daniel helped him put it together and is in it too.

[@darajeeling]

It would be so great, if you visit the Studio Tour. That's such a great place *wink wink * Also thank you again for sharing this with us and today would be Alan s 77th birthday - so this was nice to watch today

[@BAD46660]

This is technically 20 years after the release of the first film so only abou 10-12 after the last finished filming. I believe whom ever organized this chose not to have JKR because of some comments she made about lgbtq+ and she was getting backlash from many directions. Unfortunately i can not remember what she exactly said but i remember it being insensitivee, narrow minded and offensive to many.

[@kathleenclark815]

It actually wasn't insensitive. Look it up. She was just standing up for women. People are dumb.

[@MistysCorner724]

@kathleenclark815 It actually was. She’s made many transphobic comments on social media (mostly twitter/X) and associates with anti-trans activists and organisations. She’s not standing up for women, she is actively fighting against womens rights. But I must admit, you are right about one thing; Some people are dumb.

[@kathleenclark815]

@@MistysCorner724 Yea. Like you. Show me the quote where she said something transphobic. If you can leave your safe space, that is

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

@@kathleenclark815You don’t have to say something explicitly transphobic to be transphobic. I get so tired of y’all thinking that, since no one says something explicit, their hands are somehow clean. It’s BS & you know it.

[@flugsven]

⁠@@MistysCorner724 That's not really true, is it now? I absolutely adore her. I don't agree with everything she says, and I Most Certainly don't fancy some of her company, but imo she's got some valid points. There are real groomers out there, using the trans woman label to get access to young girls. We must be able to protect both the actual transwomen/-girls out there And protect the sis girls and -women from predators in wig and a dress. It's complicated and we need to solve practical matters like locker rooms.

[@katheryns1219]

This is what JK Rowling said, I decided I didn't want to do it. I thought it was about the films more than the books quite rightly,” Rowling continued. “No one said, 'Don't. ' I was asked to do it and I decided not to.”

[@shadowknife333]

This hits even harder cause of now we also lost Maggie

[@meola53]

I enjoyed watching your reaction to this reunion show. Harry Potter is one of my favorite stories. You never mentioned if you have read the books. I really hope you have. They contain so much more information that is left out of the movies. Plus, Ginny is so much more dynamic in the books as opposed to the movies.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to Kev and Lewis! 🪄

[@Marcus_1001]

9:10 One of Britain's best, indeed! Gary Oldman is among my top 5 favorite actors of all time. Absolutely brilliant.

[@Brandon_Powell]

7:20 That's because JK Rowling was writing the story that way but changed it towards the end because she thought Harry ending up with Hermione was too obvious. And she has regretted it ever since. And honestly, I can see why. I never bought Hermione and Ron's as well as Harry and Ginny's romance. In both the books and the movies, Harry and Hermione have much better chemistry.

[@rafieburgos5529]

I recommend to both of you the Pirates Of The Caribbean series, they are a great one. But I recommend the first 3 original films.

[@tiagobertolo240]

Daniel Radcliffe did most of his stunts

[@prs149]

Did you know Daniel, Emma and Rupert each earned between 30 and 50 million dollars per last t w o movie

[@lechat8533]

Thank you!

[@kathleenclark815]

Yes! Been waiting on this! You guys should visit the Harry Potter world here in Universal Studios CA! Or I guess the Florida one is closer to you lol!

[@KarenLovesColours]

They live in England, so they can just go to the original studios close to London. They are amazing! I'm sure that the HP-worlds in the USA and Asia are great too, but its extra special, when you visit the sets that were actually used at the place, where the filming took place.

[@kathleenclark815]

@@KarenLovesColours Yes. But I'm talking about an amusement park. With Harry Potter rides, wand shops, restaurants etc! So fun!

[@XxPanderosxX]

When we think twice, it's incredible that Hogwarts had to defend themself against Voldemort when we know that there is lot of Magic school Why did they not come to help ? Nevertheless, I grew up with Harry potter since my childhood and having this reunion was magic even if some leave before this moment .. Rip all the great actors Thanks for everything you did :

[@FireMunki63]

She was excluded from her own program. Quite scandalous the treatment of JK who has brought so much joy to so many. Such is cancel culture.

[@SofaandChill]

I have just looked and apparently she said she was asked to do it but because she thought it was more of a celebration of the movies rather than the books, she passed!

[@ssssarita]

She wasn't excluded

[@raphael_2d878]

I miss Alan Rickman so much.

[@SofaandChill]

Me too mate, one of the best!

[@antoinetteserrano3082]

There was I guess a bit of a falling out between the main 3 & JKR in regards to her comments regarding Transgender people. I’m not sure exactly what was said but apparently they said they’d not work directly with her because I suppose her comments seemed hateful/narrow minded to them. Again that’s what I saw going around but you know how these things go around & take a life of its own. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@SofaandChill]

Ahh right, I didn't google it so was not sure! Thank you for letting us know

[@Balladenkind]

Where is Robbie Coltrane with his famous qoute 😢

[@miepmiep2274]

After he died those words hit extra hard. Like he knew

[@samgoodwin6495]

father stop talking

I cannot...

[@CabinFever52]

I have no way to pay to join, and having everything so extremely chopped up here is too difficult to watch. So I'm out of here at the 5 minute mark. sad-

[@Zatheris76]

So many other things I rather watch you 2 seeing not stuff like interviews, blaa. With such limited time with Lewis is this stuff like this is a waste. Not that you should not watch or enjoy this, I just don't want to watch you watching stuff like this, I see the as a father-son movies and tv reaction channel, and this is neither, but that's just me.

[@zuzauramek9850]

JK Rowling was at that time a little controversial. She tweeted a few times defending gender, gays, lesbians, and women's rights but few people on Twitter took her tweets and reworked them so she looks like a homophobe, and racist. The internet had run with that lie and she was "canceled ". Only now the truth slowly emerged but in 2019 when they filmed Harry Potter's 20th Anniversary she was still "persona non grata."

[@templarpg]

And Emma and Dan stabbed JK in the back., because of her trans views which were taken out of context. That's why no JK they wouldn't do it if she was involved. She made their careers and they were to woke to check the facts.

[@アキコ2003]

Boohoo excusing transphobia is hilarious Nobody is forced to agree with your hateful opinions and views on the world. So no, they didn't have the obligation to agree with transphobia just because it came from jk rolling.
