It’s time to dust off those house robes once again! While fans are still reeling from the emotional rollercoaster that was the Harry Potter th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts special, Emma Watson is already looking toward the future.
The actress, who grew up before our eyes as the brilliant Hermione Granger, recently sat down with Vogue to reflect on the magic of reuniting with her former castmates on the original sets. When asked the question every Potterhead has been dreaming of—would she return for a th anniversary reunion in another years?—Watson had a simple, one-word answer.
“Definitely.”
The viral confirmation has sent shockwaves through X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, with fans already marking their calendars for the year . After all, if the th anniversary proved anything, it’s that the bond between the “Golden Trio” and their fans is truly unbreakable.
Filming the HBO Max special, which debuted on New Year’s Day, was no small feat for the stars. Watson described the experience of sitting back in the Gryffindor common room with Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint as both “emotional and intense.”
The special was packed with viral moments that kept social media buzzing for weeks. From Watson opening up about her childhood crush on Tom Felton (who played Draco Malfoy) to the cast’s tearful tributes to those they’ve lost, the reunion was a love letter to a generation.
Even a hilarious editing mishap—where a childhood photo of actress Emma Roberts was accidentally used instead of Watson—couldn’t dampen the spirits of the fandom. In fact, it only added to the “extraordinary” experience of the event.
While the Wizarding World has expanded with the Fantastic Beasts prequels, the heart of the franchise remains with the original cast. Despite the ongoing controversies surrounding author J.K. Rowling’s views, the love for Watson, Radcliffe, and Grint continues to shine brighter than a Lumos spell.
Seeing the cast assemble again in years would be a monumental testament to the franchise’s longevity. It’s clear that for Watson, the door to Hogwarts isn’t just open—it’s waiting for her to walk back through it.
So, while we have a bit of a wait until , we can rest easy knowing our favorite witch is just as nostalgic as we are. Someone better start booking the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London sets right now!
