Revisiting the Journey of 'Harry Potter' Stars: Captivating Photos
Take a captivating journey through time as the beloved cast of 'Harry Potter' reunites at various memorable moments over the years Witness their enduring bond and relive the magic through a series of heartwarming photos
Having been a student at Hogwarts once, always means being a student at Hogwarts — and the frequent reunions of the Harry Potter cast prove just that.
The year 2001 saw the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, introducing the world to Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, who portrayed the three main characters from J.K. Rowling's novels: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, respectively.
During the next ten years, the trio became even closer and formed an enduring bond that extended beyond the later movies in the film franchise.
"It's been an incredible experience to work with essentially the same group of people for a decade," Radcliffe shared with Larry King in 2011. "You form such strong connections with so many individuals that it feels strange not to be returning to work with them next year, even though those connections will continue into the future."

'Harry Potter' Stars Reuniting Over the Years: Photos
Once a Hogwarts student, always a Hogwarts student — and the Harry Potter cast’s frequent reunions prove that.
The release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in 2001 marked the debut of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson as the iconic trio of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. Their on-screen bond strengthened over the years, carrying through to subsequent films and extending beyond the franchise.
"It has been an incredible experience to work with the same group of people for 10 years," Radcliffe said in a 2011 interview with Larry King. "You form such strong bonds with so many people that, although those bonds will continue in the future, it feels very strange not to be returning to work with them next year."
Since filming wrapped up, the group, as well as many other stars from the movies such as Matthew Lewis, Tom Felton, and Bonnie Wright, have remained in contact and have shown support for each other's projects.
