Return to Hogwarts Review: Golden trio fly their broomsticks down memory lane

Watching the magical Harry Potter movies, or reading the incredibly scripted books have been some of our happiest memories from childhood. Anybody who has been invested in the mysterious wizarding world shall know how important Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, is for the Potterheads. However, like the Quidditch games, which do not end as one might expect them to, the reunion special episode takes hours to catch the 'golden snitch', making the project go on longer than one might want or possess the energy to tolerate.

The reunion special feels stretched to the point of being a bore at several moments (recall reading the book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, twice at one go!) It features interviews from the cast members and the several directors of the movies, but such didn't feel necessary as it caters intimately to the personal experiences of the actors and the production team, which seems of no merit. When the audience tunes in to a Harry Potter movie, they love the idea of being surrounded by magic, fantasy and that Hogwarts shall never leave your back! However, while the reunion decides to ponder upon the magical aspects of the Harry Potter universe, it fails to stick to it, and has the 'muggles' steal the show!
