AceShowbiz - HBO Max has unleashed the first official trailer of "Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts". After teased in the first-look photo, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint reunite in the newly-released sneak-peek video.
The trio are seen revisiting iconic places of the "Harry Potter" franchise, from King's Cross Station to Hogsmeade, as Radcliffe says in voiceover, "The thing that scared me the most was the implication that the most meaningful thing in our life was done, and there's something so joyous about seeing everyone and [being] like, 'It wasn't, though.' "
Watson adds, "It feels like no time has passed and loads of time has passed." Meanwhile, Grint talks about the time he spent with the cast, "It's a very heartwarming thing, 'cause I've watched you grow up and I've seen kind of every stage of your life."
Radcliffe, Watson and Grint have a hearty chat as they giggle and laugh in the video. In a poignant moment, the Hermione Granger depicter gets teary eyed as she and Grint talk about the cast's "strong bond." He says, "It's a strong bond that we'll always have. We're family. And we will always be part of each other’s lives," before he and Watson share a hug.
