What’s The Reunion About?
Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts will tell the story of creating this magical adventure through brand new in-depth interviews and conversations with the cast. The event will honour the magic behind making the films and the beautiful family created at Warner Bros. Studios in London two decades ago.
“There’s magic in the air with this incredible cast as they return home to the original Hogwarts sets, where it all started 20 years ago. The joy is palpable as they prepare to take their fans on a very special and personal journey, recounting the making of these incredible films”, said executive producer Casey Patterson.
