Ten years after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 brought a close to their decade-long journey, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) are set to reunite on one very magical night for Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, an HBO Max special event that will premiere on New Year's Day, January 1, 2022.

The long-awaited reunion will celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and will see the iconic trio also share the stage with their original director Chris Columbus and a wide variety of their legendary co-stars, including Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), Robbie Coltrane (Rubeus Hagrid), Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), James Phelps (Fred Weasley), Oliver Phelps (George Weasley), Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Ian Hart (Quirinus Quirrell), and more.

While an official length is to-be-determined, the retrospective will delve into the making of all eight films with new in-depth interviews and cast conversations, so it should be well worth the wait.

Additionally, the special will only be a timed HBO Max-exclusive, and will make its global debut on TBS and Cartoon Network in Spring 2022, ahead of the April 15th theatrical launch date of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
