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!

Unexpected Team-Up: Prince William and Emma Watson Unite for Change
Prince William had plenty to celebrate this weekend, but his latest public appearance quickly turned heads for a very different reason. After marking his 44th birthday and Father's Day with his family, the future king returned to royal duties—and made a surprisingly personal confession about the emotional toll of climate change.
William joined Hollywood stars Emma Watson and Benedict Cumberbatch at a United for Wildlife forum in London, an initiative he launched with the Royal Foundation in 2013. The organization works around the world to combat wildlife trafficking, environmental crime, and the destruction of endangered species.
But it was William's candid admission about his own fears that stole the spotlight.
The Prince of Wales revealed that climate change has caused him "sleepless nights," admitting he has struggled with anxiety about what the future could look like. Yet instead of allowing those fears to overwhelm him, William said seeing real progress through conservation efforts has helped keep his environmental anxiety under control.
He also delivered a powerful message to business leaders, urging them to become the kind of leaders they admired when they were children. With technology and innovation transforming the world at an incredible pace, William challenged CEOs to use their influence to create meaningful change.
The event launched London Climate Action Week, with more royal appearances expected, including the Earthshot Prize assembly.
Emma Watson also delivered a surprising revelation of her own. The Harry Potter star highlighted the fashion industry's enormous environmental impact, pointing out that it produces more emissions than aviation and ranks behind only oil among major polluting industries.
Watson, who is also pursuing a doctorate in philosophy at Oxford, shared a hilarious story about mistakenly believing paparazzi were following her. After spotting photographers with telephoto lenses, she arranged a distraction and escaped through another exit. The twist? They weren't photographing her at all. They were waiting to capture a red kite.
Meanwhile, Benedict Cumberbatch praised William as "a great guy" and urged businesses and individuals to recognize that they can still make a difference, even when global environmental challenges appear overwhelming.
With William, Watson, and Cumberbatch joining forces on the issue, the London forum delivered a clear message: the fight against environmental destruction is becoming impossible for the world's biggest names to ignore.
