by Mary Wojcicki · December 20, 2021

Following the release of the teaser trailer for Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts on December 5, HBO Max has released a full trailer ahead of the highly anticipated Harry Potter reunion special. Return to Hogwarts is due to be available for streaming on HBO Max on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2022.

Ahead of the newest trailer, both the HBO Max Twitter account and the Wizarding World Twitter account released new versions of a poster for the special.

This image features not only Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Daniel Radcliffe front and center but also other members of the cast. From left to right, pictured in the image behind the actors who portrayed the golden trio are Oliver Phelps (George Weasley), James Phelps (Fred Weasley), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), and Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley). The cast members are pictured standing on the Great Hall set, which is decorated for Christmas in the photo. The tagline reads, “Welcome back to where the magic began.”

Check out the trailer for the special below!

As shown in the trailer, many members of the Harry Potter cast beyond those photographed for the poster also took part in the reunion, meeting in person on set at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London. Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), and Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort) are featured in the footage from the trailer, as is a dance sequence and orchestral performance reminiscent of the Yule Ball in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Actors Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Ian Hart (Professor Quirrell), and Toby Jones (the voice of Dobby) are also billed at the end of the trailer, as are producer David Heyman and directors Chris Columbus, Mike Newell, Alfonso Cuarón, and David Yates.

Are you ready to return to Hogwarts?
