Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are reuniting with other cast members from the blockbuster film franchise for a special 20th anniversary TV retrospective, movie studio Warner Bros. said on Tuesday. The release, however, omitted any mention of creator J.K. Rowling as taking part in the production. Warner Bros. and HBO are owned by AT&T Inc. The retrospective will see the cast return to the original Hogwarts boarding school sets that were featured in the first film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ("Philosopher's Stone" in the U.K.), released in November 2001. The film franchise, based on J.K. Rowling's stories about an orphaned boy with magical powers, took in some $7.8 billion US at the global box office.
