JAKARTA - The cast of the Harry Potter film franchise reminisced about their experience of being involved in the project, which was already 20 years old. Daniel Radcliffe and the rest of the cast remember many things while filming this phenomenal film.

Quoted from Reuters, Tuesday, December 28, Daniel Radcliffe who plays Harry Potter remembers he had an embarrassing haircut. Watson, who plays Hermione, said meeting her Harry Potter co-stars was an "unexpected joy".

Radcliffe, now 32, remembers that he was only 11 when he played an orphan with magical powers. He said at a reunion on set in Leavesden, outside London, that he would always love to talk about the film.

"Every part of my life is connected to Potter and Leavesden. My first kiss connected to someone here, my first boyfriend was here. ... Everything revolved from the Potter set somewhere," he said, quoted by ANTARA.

Radcliffe remembers how he and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) hated being told to grow their hair out to look more shabby in later films in the series.

"We were like, 'No, no, no, no, no. You're not leaving us like this? We're supposed to be teenagers and date girls in this movie! That's not what's going to happen, is it?'. So, I thought. we were pretty devastated when we realized it," he said.

Many of the cast from the "Harry Potter" film franchise are reuniting for the 20th anniversary TV special, called "Return to Hogwarts," which will air on January 1 on HBO Max.

Radcliffe, Grint, Watson and director Christopher Columbus join actors Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) and other cast members for a reunion.

Watson said she was overcome with emotion at the reunion after so many years. "Some of us haven't seen each other in years. So it's just a joy. An unexpected joy," he said.

Oldman said getting back together was "a strange experience because you met them as kids, and now some of them are married and they have kids of their own."

Meanwhile, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was released in November 2001. The eight film franchises based on JK Rowling's novel series earned about 7.8 billion US dollars at the global box office.
