You have to get out the time turner one last time, writes Emma Watson to a recent Instagram post in which she shares a special trailer. The time turner - fans of Hermione Granger, the character from the Harry Potter universe whose portrayal made Watson famous, know this - is a magical hourglass on a chain that turns back time by an hour. Whether Watson actually turned the glass 175,200 times to return to 2001, she kept to herself. One thing is clear, however: there will be a reunion with the stars from the magical world.
Twenty years after the theatrical release of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the actors in the eight-part film series look back on their time together.
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) join Watson.
Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), Bonnie Wright (Ginnie Weasley) and many others celebrate according to the trailer on »Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts «with.
The retrospective with panel discussions and scenes from the shooting is to be broadcast on January 1 on the US streaming service HBO Max.
One name, however, is missing from the list of party guests: JK Rowling.
The British writer, on whose novel series the world of the famous student of magic is based, will therefore probably not be at the reunification.
Rowling has come under fire in the past, among other things, for her stance in the transgender debate.
