The actors shared their views about the reunion, and how it made them feel nostalgic. “Is this what school homecoming is like?”, wrote Tom Felton, who played the infamous character of Draco Malfoy in the series.
Emma Watson, who played the role of Hermione Granger, wrote on her Instagram:
Harry Potter was my home, my family, my world and Hermione (still is) my favorite fictional character of all time. I think a journalist once said it was irritating how many times during an interview I mentioned how lucky I was and started counting… BUT I DAMN WELL KNEW!!! And still know.
Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts will stream New Year’s day, Jan 1, 2022 on HBO Max.
