However, as was the case for the Friends reunion, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts will be available on Sky and Now TV.
Zai Bennett, Sky MD of Content UK and Ireland, said: “Twenty years ago we welcomed a little bit of cinema magic into the world as Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone had its big screen debut.
