    It traveled us back in time...

    "Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts" is a TV Special in which we watch some of the cast of the "Harry Potter" franchise celebrating the 20th Anniversary since the release of the first "Harry Potter" movie. There are plenty of interviews and conversations that gives us many insights about the movies.

    I enjoyed this TV Special very much and I have to admit that I was expecting it anxiously. The combination of the insights that were presented with the cast interviews and all the information given by them, made us understand and see the "Harry Potter" franchise form a different perspective. I also liked the way the cast members talked about the show and the presentation of many behind the scenes moments along with some emotional moments. The direction which was made by Eran Creevy, Joe Pearlman and Giorgio Testi was simply amazing and they succeed on traveled us back in time and have the same feeling as the first time watching the Harry Potter and his friends walking at Hogwarts. Finally, I have to say that "Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts" is an amazing TV show and I highly recommend everyone to watch it, especially all "Harry Potter" fans.

    After all these years? Always.

    This Reunion is sort of testament to the fact that this world is going to stay forever etched into our memories. And I feel this is the perfect time to celebrate it because you never know how long these incredible people involved in the cast are going to stay with us and share their experiences. Some have already left and are dearly being missed.

    This show is just meant to be an celebration of a milestone and a fan service. And that's what it is. Although i do miss few people. Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon and of course the JK Rowling.

    It definitely brings back those memories of enjoying the movies growing up and coming of age along with the story.

    Loved it.

    Could have been much longer

    Really enjoyed it! Sappy, but I grew up with these movies and I was ready to have my heartstrings tugged. Great interview locations, attention to detail etc. Would have maybe liked to see less splicing of conversations, but sometimes it was necesary due to the way they catergorized the various phases of the decade of filming. I wish each section was a 45 minute episode, but that might just be the hardcore fan in me.

    To the people saying it was good Rowling wasn't included more than she already was because she would have been "distracting" etc... you are nuts. She invented this world. They're talking about a series of films based on books she wrote. I dont give a damn what you think about her politics, they are her views and she is entitled to them. I think she should have had interactive interviews. Hundreds of people owe her for their careers.

    Pretty good watch

    It was enjoyable to watch.

    I get the author said some things others don't agree with but to use old footage just because of that and not actually bring her back is sad (If that were the case). There wouldn't be a reunion if it weren't for her. She is Harry Potter.

    Also, it would have been nice, in my opinion, to include the child actors parents in the show because they really did play a big part in them being where they are now. Unless I missed something of course.

    But despite all that it was nice to watch.

    Missing some key people

    Missing many people. Maggie smith? Michael gambon? Timothy spall? Any other 100s of extras. Good. Could've been better. 2 hours of Emma Watson tearing up was a bit much.

      A about 5:49 they used a photo of Emma Roberts in Minnie Mouse Ears instead of Emma Watson.
    • Quotes

      Robbie Coltrane: The legacy of the movies is, I suspect, that my children's generation will show them to their children. So you could be watching it in 50 years' time, easy. I'll not be here, sadly, but... But Hagrid will, yes.
