Never again will any films accomplish what Harry Potter did. This made me way more emotional than I expected. I love Harry Potter, and I loved this, hearing the actors experiences, just seeing more of this incredible series, was amazing. Seeing everyone reunite, the memorial to the actors we’ve unfortunately lost. Harry Potter shaped my childhood, and finding out more about how it was made and seeing the characters together again was so cool. I would have liked to see more of the actors interact, but it wouldn’t have been possible to fit everything in, tho I would have liked to see an interview with Emma and Tom Felton. I like how this reunion was structured, going through each of the films. I can’t really say much more about it, it’s Harry potter, it’s exactly what you’d expect, it was done really well. I thought a lot of the clips used worked really well in the context of the interviews, one of the better reunions I think we will get. Better than the friends reunion. I can’t help but compare them, this was way better, except I did prefer the intro to the friends reunion where they all see each other for the first time. Other than that though this was done really well and I enjoyed it, if you love Harry Potter this is a must watch.
8.0/10
