The actors and cast behind the Harry Potter franchise remembered their late co-stars during an in memoriam section of the Harry Potter Return To Hogwarts reunion, which aired on Saturday.

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint led the tributes to the many stars they have lost over the past two decades, since the franchise launched with Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone – including Richard Harris, Alan Rickman and most recently Helen McCrory.

Speaking about appearing on the reunion without their late stars, Emma said: ‘It’s obviously amazing to be back, but so many people we thought would be here for much longer like Helen and Alan and Richard’, while Rupert sadly echoed: ‘They’re like family, just gone too soon’.

By Amy West | Digital Spy | December 29, 2021

Harry Potter‘s Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and more will soon be seen on Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts to celebrate the hugely popular movie franchise and look back on its 20-year history on screen.

The pre-recorded special, which is set to air at 8pm on New Year’s Day (January 1) on Sky Max, will be a star-studded affair with tons of cast members and directors Mike Newell, Alfonso Cuarón, David Yates and Chris Columbus all lined up to feature.

Sadly, though, there will, of course, be some noticeable absences – and the gang made sure not to let late actors Alan Rickman, John Hurt, Helen McCrory and more who have passed away since the film franchise began go unmentioned.

Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy in Interview

Harry Potter cast members Jason Isaacs and Helen McCrory, who portray Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, during an interview.

So this is the face of evil: ice-blue eyes, an imperious brow, the sculpted features of Lucius Malfoy, the Muggle-hating wizard supremacist and implacable foe of Harry Potter.

As Malfoy, 48-year-old actor Jason Isaacs has plumbed his character’s dark heart and chilled millions of moviegoers since he appeared in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” in 2002. So it comes as a surprise to hear the British performer renounce evil.

There is, he says, no such thing. Even arch-villain Lord Voldemort is not so much wicked as misguided.

“No one is ever bad,” said the disconcertingly genial Isaacs. “Voldemort sees the way the world ought to be, in his own eyes, and is trying to make it that way.”

Isaacs returns as Malfoy in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” the last film in the magical saga, which premiered Thursday in London and opens around the world next week.
