Now that she’s reunited with all her Harry Potter cast members, Emma Watson says she would return for another reunion in 20 years. As last year marked the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, HBO Max decided to unite some of the fantasy franchise’s biggest stars for a reunion special. Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts debuted on the streaming service on New Year’s Day and saw those like Watson and Daniel Radcliffe sit down on the original sets to look back on the magic of the Wizarding World.
The Harry Potter franchise has grown beyond the original 8 movies, with Warner Bros. later developing a prequel series based on the fictional textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. However, if the Harry Potter reunion proved anything, it’s that there is still a lot of affection for the saga of the Boy Who Lived. Fans were thrilled by the new revelations that emerged from the special, such as Watson talking about her crush on Draco Malfoy actor Tom Felton. Now many are wondering just when the Harry Potter cast can assemble again.

Another major anniversary seems like a good time, and Watson evidently agrees. In a recent interview with Vogue, Watson was asked if she would return to Hogwarts for another reunion in 20 years – or, for Harry Potter‘s 40th anniversary. Her answer was simple, but perfect: “Definitely.” Someone better book those sets right now!
Return to Hogwarts might’ve featured an error where a picture of Emma Roberts, not Watson, was used, but there’s no denying filming the special was an extraordinary experience for everyone involved. Watson said in the same interview it was both emotional and intense. The impact of seeing her, along with Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, back in the Gryffindor common room was monumental for fans, but few can understand how it must’ve felt for the stars themselves. Still, it was clearly incredible enough that Watson would happily do it again in another 20 years.
Odds are, there would still be countless fans who would happily tune in for another Return to Hogwarts-like special. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling might be more of a controversial figure now because of her anti-trans views, but the love for the stars of the movies and the stories they told remain as strong as ever. Assembling the cast once again in another 20 years would really highlight the franchise’s longevity. And who knows? There could be even more Harry Potter projects in the coming years to help keep the fandom alive. Let’s see what happens in 2041.

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.
