Exactly 20 years after the world of bespectacled magician Harry Potter moved from JK Rowling’s library to the big screen and became one of the most successful film series in history, all the big stars came together for an exciting reunion that included some amusing moments, some exciting and some even quite embarrassing.
(The trailer for the special)
The lead trio, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) led the special called “Harry Potter’s 20 Years Celebrations: Back to Hogwarts”, during which they sat for an hour and 40 minutes in intimate conversation. Raised memories and also met other memorable characters.
One of the most memorable episodes during the filming was Watson’s desire to leave her role, a concern that has arisen for her several times over the years.

“People tend to forget what she went through and how gracefully she dealt with it,” Tom Pelton (Draco Malfoy) claimed of Emma Watson. “Dan (Radcliffe) and Rupert (Grint), they had each other. I had my friends. Her mother on the other hand was not only the youngest, she was alone.”
Watson was only 10 years old when she won the role of Hermione in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” Radcliffe and Grint began their cinematic careers at the age of 11.
Director David Yates, who received the baton from the fifth film in the “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” series, recalled that producer David Hyman and Warner told him before the filming that “her mother is not sure she wants to return to shoot another ‘Potter’.”
“I found some passage in the diary I wrote that was kind of …” Watson recounted during the special. “I could see there were moments when I was lonely. Fame at some point did its thing big time.”
“We never talked about it on the set because we were all kids,” Radcliffe said. “As a 14-year-old, I never came to another 14-year-old and asked him something like ‘Hey, what’s up with you? Is everything okay?'”

Despite this, at least according to the three main actors, they seem to have shared similar feelings, despite the fact that they did not share them with each other. “I had similar feelings to her mother, I wondered to myself what would happen if I decided to quit,” Grint admitted.
Watson revealed that in the shadow of her fears and reflections, they were never forced to convince her to continue playing Hermione. “The fans wanted me to succeed and were always behind us,” she said. “How amazing is that?”
“I was total shit about it”
Watson recalled Ron and Hermione’s kissing scene in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2” as “the scariest moment we had to go through.”
“I did not make this whole thing better because I was told several times that I reacted to it like utter shit and I said ‘I’m going to get to the set and watch you kiss,'” Radcliffe told his friends. “I’m sorry guys.”
Grint said the kiss between his and Watson’s characters “gained a lot of buildup throughout the film series.” Watson herself added that she feared they would not be able to do it on filming day because none of them would be able to take it seriously. “It was supposed to be a dramatic kiss,” she says. “We kept bursting out laughing. We couldn’t stop.”
She claimed that not only did Radcliffe say he wanted to be on the set when it happened, everyone understood that it was a significant matter. “I knew I was going to make this thing happen because if it depended on Rupert it would not happen,” she said. “So I just had to go for it. I had to add some kind of momentum to the kiss to make it happen.”
According to David Yates, Watson “did not take prisoners.”

“I wish I was born a decade earlier, maybe I had a chance”
Helena Bonham Carter played one of the most extraordinary characters in “Harry Potter,” the crazy Death Eater in the Latrix for Strange. And according to the script, Harry Potter eventually married Ginny Weasley, but Daniel Radcliffe himself revealed that he was actually attracted to Bonham Carter.
Radcliffe, 32, discovered this during his encounter with the esteemed 55-year-old actress. Bonham Carter said she found a letter he wrote to her after she asked him for his signature. During the special she gave Radcliffe her phone and asked him to read the contents of the letter aloud.
“Dear Helena Bonham Carter, it was a pleasure to play by your side and be your bottom for coffee in the sense that I was always somehow the one who held your coffee. I really love you and I wish I was born 10 years before. Maybe then I had a chance with you. Lots of love and thank you for being so great “.

Radcliffe was a little apprehensive about reading the last part of the letter, but Carter did not give up on him and laughed. “You can share, it’s okay,” she said. “Nice, no? I’ll always keep this letter. Now it’s up to me in the bathroom.”
Not that it’s surprising, but Radcliffe was not the only one to turn on another actor on the set. In another part of the special, Emma Watson told Tom Pelton about her feelings for him during filming. Watson recalled that on one of the school days all the children had, the teacher asked them to draw what God thought they looked like. “Tom drew a girl on a skateboard with an inverted hat,” she recounted. “And I just did not know how to say it. I just fell in love with it.”
She said that at the beginning of each photo shoot she went looking for his number to see if he was participating. “It was number 7,” she said. “And if that number had appeared, it would have been a much more exciting day for me.”
Plato added that there is indeed love between them, and Watson said she is more like that of a brother and sister now. “I became very protective of her,” Platon claimed. “I always had a warm corner in my heart for her, and it continues today.”
