Emma Watson was mistakenly identified as Emma Roberts in the new Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts special. Last year, Warner Bros. commemorated the twentieth anniversary of the enormously successful Harry Potter film series by airing a reunion special on HBO Max. Following the
success of the Friends reunion special in May and the Fresh
prince of Bel-Air reunion in 2020, this is the next step.
The special, which lasted about an hour and 45 minutes, included behind-the-scenes footage and new interviews with the various performers and filmmakers who helped make the series possible. As a pre-teen, Watson was cast as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series and was thrust into the spotlight. The popularity of the series, as well as her own, grew over time. Watson was considering abandoning Harry Potter before the book ended, according to a trailer for the season.
Watson has found
success in other acting parts in the ten years since the trilogy ended with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the most noteworthy of which being Belle in the 2017 live-action adaptation of
beauty and the Beast. As fans
watch the Harry Potter reunion special,
twitter user mania noticed an error in one of the old photographs used in the documentary. Watson was talking about how she grew captivated with the Harry Potter series when she was a kid. A photo of a young
girl wearing Mickey Mouse ears, which is actually Emma Roberts, not Emma Watson, plays over Watson's narration.
