Fans of Harry Potter and its film series have got a lot to look forward to! The super successful film franchise is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of its first film this year. ‘Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone’ released in theatres on 16th November, 2001. Warner Bros., producers of the film, have planned a number of events and featured content in celebration of the milestone. The most exciting of the lot is easily the much-publicised ‘Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts’ event.
Just like the ‘Friends Reunion Special’ held for the iconic show, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts is a reunion event of sorts. All the major cast members of the Harry Potter series of movies come together to celebrate the beloved franchise, share interesting anecdotes, reminisce the making of the epic films and a lot more. In-depth interviews and informal chats among the cast will make up the bulk of the show.
Slated to attend the event are the three leads, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger). Also present will be Chris Columbus, director of the first two Harry Potter films, along with primary cast members Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix), Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge), James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley), Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), and Ian Hart (Quirinus Quirrell) among others.
The question foremost in every Harry Potter fan is when and where to watch ‘Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts‘ online in India? Well, the special event will stream on HBO Max on New Year’s Day, that is 1st January 2022. However, producers Warner Bros. have promised that the reunion special will be licensed to streaming services all over the world, just like they did for the Friends Reunion Special.
The Friends Reunion had streamed on the same day, date and time on ZEE5 in India. There are bright chances that ‘Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts’ will also stream in India on the same day, date and time as it will in the USA. We do not have details of the platform that will host the Harry Potter Reunion special in India. The first Harry Potter 20th Anniversary event – Hogwarts Tournament of Houses – streamed on Prime Video in India. Hence, Prime Video seems to be the best bet to grab streaming rights for Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts.
Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon at the iconic Warner Bros. Studio Tour London — The Making of Harry Potter. Stay tuned to Binged.com for further details on where the Harry Potter reunion special will stream.
