The now 31-year-old actor, who has since played Belle in Beauty and the Beast and Meg March in Little Women, opened up about the joys and challenges of embodying the precocious Hermione Granger in eight blockbusters filmed over 10 years. Many of the standout moments in the nearly two-hour-long extravaganza, however, came courtesy of Emma Watson. It featured waltzes in the Great Hall, secrets shared in the Gryffindor common room, the revelation that Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell cracked his ribs while play-fighting with James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley), and that Radcliffe had penned a love letter to his co-star Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange). But, on New Year’s Day, *Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts-*broadcast on HBO Max-marked this milestone with a lavish and heartfelt reunion. For fans of the era-defining Harry Potter series, it’s difficult to believe that two decades have passed since Daniel Radcliffe first picked up his wand as the titular Boy Who Lived.
