A still mysterious retrospective

In addition to this show, Warner Bros. and Wizarding World are preparing a retrospective of the saga. Still mysterious, the project should make it possible to look back at ten years of films on the big screen. As of yet, the presence of main actors like Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe has not been confirmed. We can nevertheless expect a show similar to the one planned for Friends, with the original cast which looks back on the highlights of the saga. We can also expect tributes to be paid to actors who have died since the eighth opus, such as Alan Rickman, but also Helen McCrory who died last April. They played respectively Severus Snape and Narcissa Malfoy.

A little patience therefore, HBO will not fail to give us more information in the coming months. We should expect to discover these shows next November, on the anniversary date of the release ofHarry Potter and the sorcerer’s stone.
