Trivia
Much of the special was filmed on the original movie sets, which are now part of the "Harry Potter Studio Tour" (in Leavesden, England; opened in 2012).

Goofs
James Phelps and Oliver Phelps, the actors who played the Weasley twins Fred and George, who are interviewed only together for the special, had their names (and accordingly, characters) attributed in the reversed-order of their seating place. An error which coincidentally resembles the running-gag of one Weasley getting mistaken for the other in-universe.

Quotes
Robbie Coltrane: The legacy of the movies is, I suspect, that my children's generation will show them to their children. So you could be watching it in 50 years' time, easy. I'll not be here, sadly, but... But Hagrid will, yes.

It traveled us back in time...

"Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts" is a TV Special in which we watch some of the cast of the "Harry Potter" franchise celebrating the 20th Anniversary since the release of the first "Harry Potter" movie. There are plenty of interviews and conversations that gives us many insights about the movies.

I enjoyed this TV Special very much and I have to admit that I was expecting it anxiously. The combination of the insights that were presented with the cast interviews and all the information given by them, made us understand and see the "Harry Potter" franchise form a different perspective. I also liked the way the cast members talked about the show and the presentation of many behind the scenes moments along with some emotional moments. The direction which was made by Eran Creevy, Joe Pearlman and Giorgio Testi was simply amazing and they succeed on traveled us back in time and have the same feeling as the first time watching the Harry Potter and his friends walking at Hogwarts. Finally, I have to say that "Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts" is an amazing TV show and I highly recommend everyone to watch it, especially all "Harry Potter" fans.
