Movie #2066 ........................."Harry Potter 20th Anniversary's Return to Hogwarts" (HBO)

 Movie #2066 "Harry Potter 20th Anniversary's Return to Hogwarts" (HBO) --- what fun to sit down and take  in all this beautiful world of Hogwarts for about 2 hours --- it went by far too quickly, for me.   It made me want to watch the movies over and over again ---- the organization uses the 8 films and how one changed from the next to the next --- how each film uniquely added to the franchise --- we met most of the directors, heard from Rowling (too little, though, but probably on purpose ), the many actors and actresses that are still living (though, I missed words from Maggie Smith, and others) -- mostly narrated by Harry, Hermione and Ron, which was quite fitting.   It seemed like a reunion for all of us because we spent so much time with them (well, I had read all the books and seen all the movies, so maybe I am speaking for a smaller number?  but I don't think so)  This is a franchise that is bigger, I think, than we can imagine with hope it lives on to the next and next and next generations.  What a feat they accomplished here with a beautiful, and albeit sometimes dark, but mostly  magical  story of one little boy named Harry Potter.  What an amazing story!     I give this 4.8 out of 5.
