The actors, who played Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, have been pictured sitting together in the Gryffindor Common Room during filming of the upcoming 20th Anniversary reunion episode.

In the one-off special – premiering on 1st January 2021 – the cast of the iconic film series will come together for a look back at the making of Harry Potter.

The cast will partake in in-depth interviews and cast conversations during the special, which has already been filmed at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.

Ahead of the highly anticipated reunion, HBO Max have released a first look picture of the three main actors sitting in the Gryffindor Common Room.

In the shot, the iconic trio can be seen laughing together as they catch up and reminisce.

The reunion episode will mark 20 years since the first Harry Potter film was released into cinemas in 2001.

There were a total of eight Harry Potter films made, with the final being released in 2011 – ten years after the journey began.

The release of this new picture comes just days after a trailer for the reunion special dropped online, staring Evanna, Mark, and Matthew.

The final clip also appears to show Emma Watson walking past the Hogwarts Express.
