The Harry Potter movie franchise has been one of the most successful of all-time since its release.

Since then, other shows and films around JK Rowling’s universe have been made, such as the Fantastic Beasts titles and the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play.

Altogether, the Wizarding World has grossed an eye-watering $9.6 billion (£7.7 billion) at the box office.

They’re not stopping there though, as an HBO series is currently in the works – but all of this still won’t satisfy the most passionate Harry Potter fans.

After all, isn’t it a reunion film that we all want?

While major cast members reunited for an HBO special to celebrate the first film’s 20-year anniversary, it wasn’t enough for fans.

So, what will it take to bring the main stars back to Hogwarts?

Daniel Radcliffe

The actor behind ‘the boy who lived’ is the most integral when it comes to a potential reunion, and while the 35-year-old tried to distance himself from the role at first, it looks like he’s not opposed to a return.

Speaking to ComicBook.com in 2023, Radcliffe said: “My understanding is that they’re trying to very much start fresh and I’m sure whoever is making them will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to have to figure out how to get old Harry to cameo in this somewhere.

“So I’m definitely not seeking it out in any way. But I do wish them, obviously, all the luck in the world and I’m very excited to have that torch passed.

“But I don’t think it needs me to physically pass it.”

It doesn’t sound too bad, but when asked a year later by E! News, he admitted about returning: “I don’t think so, I think they very wisely want to [have] a clean break. And I don’t know if it would work to have us do anything in it.”

However, he refused to give us a clear answer – not a good sign.

Don’t worry, there’s some good news if we turn to the man behind Ron Weasley.

While we want to see the return of his mother Molly Weasley and his three siblings, Ron is a non-negotiable if there were to be a reunion.

Speaking about the prospect of reprising his role on ITV’s This Morning show in 2023, he said: “I think if the timing was right and everyone was coming back. It was a character that was important to me, we kind of became the same person.

“I’m protective of him as well. It was my whole childhood.”

Speaking highly of the role, he admitted that his biggest acting credit prior was as ‘a fish in a school play’.

So that’s one on board, as long as everyone else would be willing.
