If you're reading that headline and thinking "20 YEARS?!" then don't worry, you're not alone.
If you can believe it, it's been nearly 20 years since Harry managed to break free from his cupboard underneath the stairs and made it to the bright candlelight of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This November will mark the theatrical release of the first entry in the franchise, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'. However, according to the main star of the movies, there's no 'Harry Potter' 20th anniversary reunion on the agenda.
Living in an age of reunion specials - thanks to Miss Rona and all of those Zoom calls - it does seem odd that the 'Harry Potter' gang aren't getting back together. With the Wizarding World franchise still going strong - 'Fantastic Beasts 3' is due for release next year - it's obvious that the core series still remains the most popular theatrical release with fans of the books.
Speaking of the books, author J.K. Rowling has come under fire for her flippant comments about members of the Trans Community in the past. A number of the 'Harry Potter' cast members spoke out in opposition to the author's words, which could be another reason why a reunion has been swept off the Quidditch pitch for now.
According to Daniel Radcliffe, however, his reasoning is that he's too busy this year to make time for a 'Harry Potter' 20th anniversary reunion. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly ahead of the third season release of his TV series 'Miracle Workers', he told the publication: "I'm in the Dominican Republic at the moment filming and then I'm going to be busy, kind of working on bits and pieces until the end of the year.
"So yeah, I don't know. I'm sure there will be some sort of celebration but I don't know if we will be getting together or anything. I'm sorry if that's a bit of a disappointment to anyone."
Hopefully, we'll get some sort of reunion in the future. Not we just need to take a shot of Firewhiskey to settle our aging nerves. And maybe an hour of listening to some John Williams 'HP' action might do the trick.
