HBO Max celebrates Harry Potter 20th Anniversary ‘Return to Hogwarts’
HBO Max is streaming a new retrospective documentary To celebrate the 20 years of releasing the first Harry Potter films that reunites several of the franchise’s prominent cast members and filmmakers to reflect on the series and their most memorable experiences while filming it over the course of more than a decade.
The release of this unforgettable tribute is technically two months late, as Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone came out in November of 2001.
Harry Potter is based on J. K. Rowling’s novels. The series is distributed by Warner Bros. and consists of eight fantasy films, beginning with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and culminating with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
List of Harry Potter film series over time
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001)
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film) (2005)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
The biggest draw for the reunion was seeing Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint (along with the rest of the returning cast) back in a room together, which was a dream come true to fans worldwide.
Return to Hogwarts also revealed several anecdotes about the actors’ experience and behind-the-scenes tricks. However, the dual openness and secrecy of the cast throughout the Harry Potter franchise’s era led numerous stories to be held as accurate for many years, but without much concrete confirmation by those involved.
It is a special reunion and a unique look back to the magical world that captivated the audience on-screen since 2001.
It makes viewers eager for the possibility of a Harry Potter 9 or cursed child movie. At the same time, it avoided discussions of the present or prospects for Harry Potter’s franchise. It focused on some of the most extraordinary and reality-checking cast memories from the original era.
As such, some stories were new to viewers, like James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) pranking Rupert Grint about having to learn an entire dance routine ahead of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’s yarn.
Features a Wizarding World’s worth of cast members reuniting, plenty of familiar faces were absent some of them passed away including Alan Rickman (Severus Snape), Helen McCrory (Narcissa Malfoy), and John Hurt (Mr. Ollivander), among others. Many prominent alums of the blockbuster film series did not take part.

Want to learn more about the story of House Targaryen? HBO series House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, will debut on OSN+ on August 22.
The new fantasy drama takes place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. It details the rise of the Targaryen family to the Iron Throne.
This new HBO series is promising to be nothing short of extravagant. House of the Dragon is considered George R. R. Martin’s first return to the screen since he created Game of Thrones in the last decade. Martin has kept followers up to date by publishing his digital entries from time to time. “The look of it is great, and the acting, the directing, and writing are the first rate. And yes, for all you book fans, it IS my story. Sure, there are some changes from FIRE & BLOOD— but I think Ryan Condal and his writers made good choices. Even some improvements.”
Since he was heavily involved in the “making of,” literature fans will enjoy this one, too. But they won’t be the only ones; fans of menacing dragons will also get to see what Westeros looks like when the skies are teaming with them. It’s safe to say it’s expected to be an epic series. One that has everything from mystical dragon wars to the gruesome violence and epic stunts we’ve grown to love.
Another point worth mentioning about the series is they’ve gone all out with the cast, bringing a very diverse and unique collective who complements the show’s setting. The cast includes Paddy Considine (HBO’s The Third Day and The Outsider), Matt Smith (Doctor Who), Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Steve Toussaint (It’s a Sin, Doctor Who), Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno, Fabien Frankel, and Rhys Ifans. Milly Alcock, Bethany Antonia, John Macmillan, and Graham McTavish round out the cast.
The show has ten episodes and starts on OSN+ and OSN Showcase at the same time and date as in the US. The first show will be at 5 a.m. GST on August 22, but it will be shown again at 9 p.m. on OSN Showcase.
