A new trailer for the ‘Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts’ special, which will debut on HBO Max on January 1, has released, reports Variety.
The new look features Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the long-running franchise, and follows the first trailer for the special that released in November.
‘Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts,’ which will reunite actors Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, was taped at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.
It will feature talent from the movies, including Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Tom Felton, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Mark Williams, Bonnie Wright, Alfred Enoch, Matthew Lewis and Evanna Lynch. Filmmakers David Heyman, Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell and David Yates will also make appearances.
The trailer features the cast reminiscing about the movies, as well as festivities in the Great Hall. Watson says, “It feels like no time has passed — and loads of time has passed.” Radcliffe says that something that had scared him was “the implication that the most meaningful thing in our life was done,” and that seeing everyone is “joyous” because he realizes “it wasn’t though.”
Bonham Carter says a highlight for her was during “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” when she “had to pretend to be Hermione pretending to be Belletrix” as they break into Gringotts. In conversation with Radcliffe, she says, “I’ve still got the teeth,” and puts them in her mouth as he laughs.
HBO Max has been steadily rolling out promotional materials for the special. The streamer already dropped the first look at Radcliffe, Watson and Grint last week, as well as a teaser that showed Coltrane (Hagrid) and Lewis (Neville Longbottom) receiving their invitations to attend the reunion.
On Wednesday, HBO Max revealed the key art for ‘Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts.’
