A snippet from the reunion
Although the franchise ended in 2011, the spark still lives on among the cast, crew and passionate Harry Potter fans all over the world. The director recalls the sets for the movies as being “the greatest playground in the world”. Radcliffe was only 11 when he starred in the first release, and he remembers that every part of his life at that point became connected to Potter. “It all spirals out from the Potter set somewhere,” he said in the reunion, according to advance excerpts.
Though the movie series is based on J.K. Rowling’s world-famous fantasy novels, the author will not be making an appearance during the reunion. She will, however, be mentioned in an archive.
