A New Harry Potter Movie is Coming to Australian Screens

From Friends to Sex and the City, 2021 has managed to dish out some pretty juicy reunions, and the start of 2022 is looking very similar with news that a Harry Potter reunion is coming to Australian screens in January 2022!

The special movie-length event entitled Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts is set to come to Australian streaming services just in time to start off 2022 on a pretty magical foot and we can't wait!

Harry Potter the Reunion

News of a Harry Potter reunion was announced by HBO Max approximately 20 years after the first Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, changed our lives forever. And while there have been mumblings of lots of Harry Potter reunion-type events, like a Harry Potter live-action TV series, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts is 100 per cent going ahead and all your favourite characters are coming back!

Who’s Taking Part in the Harry Potter Reunion?

Everyone! Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) will be taking part in the reunion special under the guidance of filmmaker Chris Columbus, plus a mega assemblage of all the fabulous stars from the eight Harry Potter movies including Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), James & Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), and Ian Hart (Professor Quirrell) just to name a few. 

What's the Harry Potter Reunion About?

Much like the Friends Reunion, the Harry Potter Reunion will be a sort of retrospective of the legacy of the films. 

According to Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics President, Tom Ascheim, "This retrospective is a tribute to everyone whose lives were touched by this cultural phenomenon—from the talented cast and crew who poured their heart and soul into this extraordinary film franchise to the passionate fans who continue to keep the Wizarding World spirit alive 20 years later."

Can I Watch the Harry Potter Reunion in Australia?

You sure can! The Harry Potter reunion will be available to stream in Australia via Binge and Foxtel from 1 January 2022.
