\"When things get really dark, and times are really hard, there’s something about 'Harry Potter' that makes life richer,\" Watson says later in the preview. Grint also tells Watson that the films have given them \"a strong bond\" that they'll \"always have\" as the two embrace.

Many beloved actors from the eight-movie series, including Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter, are also shown in the trailer for the reunion.

Additional confirmed stars for the anniversary special include Robbie Coltrane, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Tom Felton, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Mark Williams, Bonnie Wright, Alfred Enoch, Matthew Lewis and Evanna Lynch.

According to HBO Max, the reunion \"will tell an enchanting making-of story through all-new in-depth interviews and cast conversations, inviting fans on a magical first-person journey through one of the most beloved film franchises of all time.\"

The first teaser for the special was released earlier this month and the first image was also released shortly after.
