Making Of HARRY POTTER REUNION: RETURN TO HOGWARTS - Behind The Scenes Of The 20th Anniversary | HBO

[@vania134]

No joke. I was 7 when I watched the first movie and now I am 27. I can seriously and genuinely see myself 30 years ahead still watching the movies over and over again

[@sophiewright9475]

You can’t of been 6 because that’s over 20 and it’s only been 20 years since the first one came out

[@gabby_5777]

ME TOO!!!!

[@3SweetyAngel]

saame!!!

[@seenawu9996]

I read the books every Christmas☺️😌 proud potterhead

[@GoMaddie]

Same

[@alexandram8189]

Helena’s laugh might actually be my favourite thing about this whole reunion. She is so cute

[@suchitadholakia9167]

I liked the blush of Daniel 😊

[@shinhatiwolf_]

Same

[@calynnechoudhury]

Dan crush on Helena i was shocked

[@mattharden8253]

I was just thinking that❤️

[@cruzsanchez2511]

Lmao daniel was trynna clap them cheeks, shi wouldve too she was fine🔥🔥 n is still fine🔥

[@Priceless201]

their smiles after they said cut when they were doing their chemistry test was so precious

[@leixxx_]

ikr, i honestly kept on repeating that part so many times, they were so cute especially Emma 😭 her smile was such a serotonin boost

[@indurani5744]

I saw it again and again ❤❤

[@RodDolls]

When they say CUT GOOD JOB, they all revert back to bieng kids and those smiles! Such talents at a young age!

[@hao9508]

That screen test was so heartwarming ❤️

[@nikunjdixit1175]

I think what was lovely about this special is that it is obvious how much the adults and the kids really loved their experience making these movies. I mean, when actors of the caliber of HBC and Gary Oldman, among others, who are multi oscar nominee/winners, can talk so fondly about these movies, and all the kids who were part of these movies have grown up and seem to have such good heads on their shoulders despite the fame and fortune, you feel that creators, directors, producers definitely got it right. For me, apart from the trio being together again, the highlight was HBC and Robbie Coltrane. Its a pity there weren't more group interactions, but I get that not everyone would be available at the same time and there are covid restrictions.

[@annaspitz6449]

I agree, group discussions would have been so so so interesting and fun

[@trentonhamilton645]

No lie, it's a lot more exciting to see the 20th anniversary reunion of the cast than the upcoming Secrets of Dumbledore, the Harry Potter franchise has a charm that quickly grew into a phenomenon throughout that decade.

[@user-ey9uj6vp9s]

It's weird I am a huge Harry Potter fan but I just don't enjoy the new movies...

[@stt.9433]

@@user-ey9uj6vp9s I mean it's utterly different, Harry Potter is a coming of age story within a grand and ancient british boarding school of wizardry. And you discover that world along those children.

[@user-ey9uj6vp9s]

@@stt.9433 That's really past the point. I just don't enjoy the new movies, never claimed or wanted it to be a copy of the HP storyline.

[@stt.9433]

@@user-ey9uj6vp9s Yeah I mean they're a soft reboot, that's kind of what you get.

[@mr.jglokta191]

Chris Columbus will always be one of my favorite directors. His movies always have a sense of magic and wonder about them... even when no magic is involved.

[@kisa1243]

Yes!! 100%

[@leadspot]

4:05 literally crying of laughter for that Rickman impression

[@Dazzzz4]

Gary's laugh afterwards was so funny

[@ember-x9o]

Rip to all the beautiful souls who couldn’t make it to see this event. I’m glad Robbie did

[@TheTonyShow]

Aww man Robbie seemed like such a happy person rest in peace beautiful soul

[@cyberqueen7784]

Clearly, everyone has grown up so much and matured. I just love how once the director says, "Cut!", the actors playing the villains can be the sweetest people and come to comfort the actor they might have hurt. I just love how they play "To Catch an Owl" from the video game for Order of the Phoenix. That's one of my favorite tracks from the Harry Potter video game series.

[@トマト買ってきて]

Harry Potter is everything for me. That is the reason I started to like the UK(I might have expected the country to be similar to the wizarding world lol) and it lead me to learn English seriously. Now I even moved from Japan to the UK and visited the studio, king's kross etc This whole thing wouldn't have happened without Harry Potter.

[@gamingfreak5913]

It’s the reason I started to like the UK too, and I’ve lived here my whole life 😂

[@missaamane8580]

That little smirk Emma gives at 3:02. Omg... so cute !!!

[@senguptasayn]

Helena cracking up makes my day every single time. Sometimes I watch Graham Norton only to hear her laugh.

[@user-pv5jc3mn6z]

Omg helena and daniel are so cute

[@JJ-gl3qr]

I can’t believe Harry Potter was like my whole childhood it’s just crazy that in all of humanities history I was privileged to be born in the era where Harry Potter fins were in theatres

[@ainelawlor5755]

38 years old and I still watch the movies my favourite is Harry Potter and the chamber secrets

[@MirabelMadrigal55]

This video appeared to my KZbin page today after 9 months of existence and how coincidence that it's just a few days after Robbie past away. He looked so happy and relaxed here. Rest in peace we miss you 🙏❤️.

[@PoorlyWrttenReviews]

Harry potter was our star wars, undoubtedly, I don't think anything has had quite the same cultural impact for kids born between 93-05

[@yacobeinauan9533]

Exactly. I was born in 2002. A year after the first movie came out. Harry Potter was my childhood.

[@imzy0173]

Just watched this today..amazing reunion. Harry Potter was a big part of my childhood growing up and seeing this made me emotional. Miss it alot... Reading the books & then the movies made me feel like I was in it too on an adventure with them.

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

@imzy0173 and mine. I was 10 when the first movie came out and 20 when the final one came out. I'm a Gryffindor

[@holohulolo]

This has honestly been so much better than I expected. Although it's sad that we don't get to see some of them being interviewed, mainly Alan and the other that passed away. Also as much controversy JK Rowling has been in, I was still hoping to see more of her, of how it went with the different directors and so on. Also I get how for some parts it's better to isolate a few actors together but was hoping for some topics they were discussing that more of them are together. For instance tom and Mathew should've been in the same room with the trio for some topica like beige child actor that grew up with the film.

[@Ryan_hey]

100% agree!

[@danyareyes1986]

Yes I thought the same!!!!

[@MrMonikerjay]

I just read that Rowling didn't want to participate because it was more focused on the film rather than the books. She just wanted the focus to be on the actors and crew rather than her.

[@سمر-ص9ح]

​@@MrMonikerjay actually if she had participate she would absolutely steal the limelight

[@Tomekkplk]

@@سمر-ص9ح "actually" k loser.

[@theelysian1172]

I think what a lot of people love most about this is we can say we in a way grew up with these guys. We experienced the sorting hat for the first time with them. We snuck off to Hogsmead for a butterbeer once or twice and just so much more. We experienced a real kind of magic if you ask me.

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

@theelysian1172 we definitely grew up with Harry Ron and Hermione

[@yelanhaver2616]

I can't even count how many times iv watched the movies and still love them like I don't think ill ever grow old of them.

[@HeyImJanC]

I have honestly not watched anything that has made me as emotional for a long time. omg 😭😭😭

[@lentaylor9576]

I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since the first film. I remember I was 7 years old when the first Harry Potter film came out and going to the movies with my mom and my brother for the first to see it and saying after the movie ended I hope they make a second one and they ended up making 7 more films in a span of 10 years. Just so crazy how time flies. I’m now 27 years old and love Harry Potter even more now then when I was 7 years old. The Potter flame will never stop burning and will burn forever!

[@Ainra100]

Man I wish them the best every single one that took part of the movies if only they knew how special they are to us and the movies

[@Maddym365]

“It’s the greatest playground in the world.” Perfectly sums it up. I’d watch another series of it but it will never be the original

[@jegerbest89]

Now we need to see the behind the scenes of behind the scenes of Return to Hogwarts

[@ankicat3425]

This is so lovely. And honors and R.I.P to the actors in Harry Potter who've passed away

[@WrangleMcDangle]

What's incredible about the potter films is that they are all good and unique. A couple may have similar tones but none of them feel like the same movie. Chris Columbus and all the others made their own unique mark on the series and they all work marvelously

[@saifmahmudishtiakshushaan462]

I was 10 when I first started on Harry Potter and now at 24, I'm still in love. This franchise was such a big part of me growing up and this reunion made me so incredibly happy. I was literally smiling the entire time and laughed and cried in between. The legacy will always live on and as Robbie Coltrane said, we'll bond with our future kids/grandkids over this imaginary world JK Rowling built with so much love.

[@kusumakumaridasari1403]

Hermoine's grin/smile at 3:03 is😍😍😍😍😍

[@lindacheragotti7730]

i first saw it with my three children. i am now 67. still love the watch HP. a GREAT life. also the music was also had superb music which i enjoy listening to esp. at night.

[@Atlastheyote222]

The first film came out a year after I was born and I was a fan immediately, so I've quite literally grown up with these people. So weird to think its been 22 years now since the first film.

[@nogamenolife1901]

Man, I wish EVERYONE was here.

[@iankasyuma5611]

Am still watching the collections of Harry Potter and it's always interesting everytime. I also love the theme song of Harry Potter I do sometimes wish it could have never come to an end

[@thephyuwinkyi6199]

I was 17 when I watched 1st HP movie for the 1st time . Now I am 37 but still love each n every piece of HP movie and still shipping Romione . I burst out tears after watching the reunion esp Emma and Rupert part .What a longing feeling and this is absolutely emotional .

[@MimMdance]

Dean Thomas had more screentime in this than in the movies xD

[@сиднипрескотт-щ3л]

It would be better if they had Seamus instead, he had more screen time and lines

[@jonnyanderson2271]

I still remember going to see every one them in the cinema, back when it was first out and I always remember it all. Probably the only memorable movie series I’ll know. Absolutely always will be childhood nostalgia. 😱😢🙃👊

[@Asdf-jy5ts]

I watched the full special and it was a really happy, nostalgic experience.

[@Godisgood137]

Neville’s glow up is insane

[@merylfan12]

RIP dear Maggie Smith….and the other great actors no longer with us….Alan, Robbie, Richard, Michael, Helen…you’ll always be with us every time we watch these amazing movies….🧙🧙🧙🧙🧙🧙🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄❤❤❤

[@sebastianv.3201]

6:42 best laugh ever

[@Leonie1125]

I remember watching the first movie as a kid and thinking "harry is so cool for being 11 already" I don't know how old I was then but I'm 27 now and just rematched all movies.

[@melahoran1182]

The amount of emma and tom interactions plsss

[@deliaklager766]

Ahaha i was looking for this comment!:D

[@gape2761]

I love that they try to include Alan Rickman…even just a little bit.

[@jfoxlives1]

Imagine Alan was there 😭

[@Ryan_hey]

I am sure he was there... in spirit

[@quibblcr]

And Helen

[@amandaallen9460]

I was 12/13 when Harry Potter and the sorcerer's Stone came out here in the US and then about to turn 35 this fall..

[@Idk_ilovemybf]

It’s sad that we can’t see alan rickman there….but he’s watching them smiling up there…🖤

[@alexmaravilla3627]

Ughhh!!! I just love seeing them together again! I miss them on screen! ❤️❤️❤️🪄🪄🪄

[@hothotheat3000]

The adults all seem really proud that the kids all turned out to be okay. A lot of child actors aren’t as lucky.

[@kimvanderlinden1842]

4:11 lmao. That was a great laugh :"D

[@constantinc.2875]

Who doesn't want to be a Part of THIS .. right?!.. after seeing this Reunion 😭.. soo .. EPIC! ❤❤❤

[@crackerjackrappr]

Sirius Black looks like he's living in character.

[@SSathe-dd9lo]

His and Daniel‘s relationship was exactly the same on the screen is off. They cast this part correctly.

[@SSathe-dd9lo]

[@dsewchannel1350]

Aww she's s so gorgeous in this video and I love her so much also marvelous video keep it up 👍💖💓

[@aidantion9584]

we were all waiting for this

[@TuukkPnk-zh5xl]

Even after 20, 30 or 50 years, this movie is still my favorite movie.❤❤

[@adamxx3]

the thing about the makeshift sets is interesting because the sets always seem so extravagant on film

[@BlankCanvas88]

Dang, Neville Longbottom. What a glow-up. 🤗 1:08

[@xyriusd832]

Rubert and Emma just look so good!

[@vanshikachhikara1736]

seeing emma,daniel n rupert emotional really made me 😿

[@ttstead]

Fun special. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@jackreeves7]

Helena's laugh🤣🤣🤣

[@syamnuni14]

hahaa after 20th years left ,now i design all about harry potter scenes of my amazing class n these all remind me to all movies harry potter. This reunion so impress me really !!

[@JustNoura-lq6xq]

It’s so strange... seeing them all without Allan Rickman (Prof. Sanape)🥺💔.. I am really miss him so much.

[@malinhessedahl]

Love all harry potter movies💙💚💖💗

[@motilalpatra]

I like all Harry Potter movie .This is not a movie that's a emotion of my school life.

[@Batman-kt4vt]

6:07 😂😂😂😂look at our Harry Potter Daniel 😂😂😂😂😂 what a Big Matured kid 😁

[@SamLee-zg7go]

Did the three film this reunion separately? Especially when they’re talking about the game slam. It’s as if they didn’t hear each other and just went on introducing the game twice.

[@alexiahgurnett4998]

I literally am such a Harry Potter fan that I got Harry Potter makeup Hermione grangers wand and some Harry Potter dolls and i research all of the actors names.

[@suchitadholakia9167]

Not Harry Potter fan, it's called POTTERHEAD 😂😂

[@thefilmrookie3099]

The night bus in the background checks out considering the letters they got and needing to get there.

[@nathancovington9206]

I can’t wait to watch them with my kids, in the future, as a family all over again

[@mksnkr5659]

REST IN PEACE TO ALL WHOM WE'VE LOST! YOU'RE WITH US FOREVER! IN HERE!♥

[@KathrynB621]

I was 11 when the first Harry Potter movie came out. I saw it three times in theaters. I also loved that the age of 11 was the entering age of a first year at Hogwarts. The Harry Potter series will always have a special place in my being.

[@sideshowtink]

Love them all. This was magic!

[@StickHits]

This isn't behind the scenes this is literally just clips from the show lol

[@knikkisunshine]

I couldn’t make it through the beginning credits without crying!

[@stylepoints.180]

i was 13 when these movies came out now my 12 year old is obsessed with them

[@hummingbird11]

I'm disappointed that I missed this, not because I forgot, but because we don't have HBOMax. Someday, I hope to see this! I was so excited about it, until I found out I couldn't watch it.

[@livai1915]

I was 7 when harry potter s first film was released so u can imagine what it meant to me ,im so glad i was a part of the generation that got to witness this greatness in action ,what emma said about finding confort in the harry potter s world is soo true, in the pandemic i actually started relistenning to the stephen fry version of the audio books and i found my self returning to that state of happiness and carefree that i was in as a child

[@mvl2868]

crazy that ppl want to do a series remake when they still have this

[@queroevesimbajon8456]

😭😭😭😭😭...very emotional watching this

[@victorialakin2825]

It's really nice having a cast reunion 😊😊😊

[@brandonsmith1198]

I like the behind the scenes when you’re making the film

[@Rachel.DawnAmber]

Can anyone tell me if they've mentioned Maggie Smith by any chance? I really wanted to see her in this show but nope she's not in..

[@anhphi100]

They didn’t

[@Thedesertguy75]

Fantastic peice of cinema history. Love the bond they all have. I always liked Luna lovejoy.... 😁

[@NickisRazor]

Wasnt Maggie Smith there? She’s my favorite

[@rockablity_hound1716]

Never again... this magic will NEVER happen again. Our childhoods 1997-2011.

[@vanillalaamor]

We literally grew up with them 😫😭

[@mdshadmanwasifkhan4482]

HBC's laughter still gives me PTSD and remind me of Bellatrix

[@awhite1212]

HBC is a bombshell and I wish I were born 10 years earlier (and was Daniel Radcliffe) just to have a chance.

[@johnnyguerrero9001]

she gave him the green light did you hear her lol get that Harry

[@joea400]

Emma could play an elf now with those ears LOL

[@kayz-art]

Sooo want to see this. But not available where I live 😭

[@janewood8665]

Where can we watch this in Australia? This is the first I’ve heard of this reunion special and I’m a HUGE fan. So weird!

[@ethanf.6848]

They could do an updated retake of the final scene in the last movie since they are much older now.

[@kingz-mistakez-4608]

Helena hasn’t aged one bit really

[@Intrepid17011]

That may sound stupidl, but to this day i never realized that Gary Oldman playerd SIrius Black, i just never wanted to look up who played him. Damn.

[@anhphi100]

We were young and had no idea who was Gary Oldman lol. Plus with all the makeup and the wig he looked quite different ^^

[@Karideplov]

Does anyone else hope they will make animated shorts of some of the parts from the book that didn’t properly make it into the movie from the book (like the horcrux stories). Shorts in Lego version…similar to Star Wars side stories or continuation stories.

[@confreeknor1]

i miss this magic in my life.

[@darkooo94]

Uhm, the HBO Max free trial link in the description redirects to Netflix. 😅
