In another long post, she paid a tribute to the whole series and wrote in length about her role and the fans. Emma wrote how Harry Potter meant everything to her and she counts her blessings every day for being a part of that series. A part of her caption on the post read, Harry Potter was my home, my family, my world and Hermione (still is) my favorite fictional character of all time. I think a journalist once said it was irritating how many times during an interview I mentioned how lucky I was and started counting… BUT I DAMN WELL KNEW!!! And still know… (sic).” Check out the full post here:

While fans are excited to see the cast and the entire team reuniting to celebrate the legacy of Harry Potter, a section of the audience feels that writer JK Rowling, who is the original storyteller of all the Harry Potter movies, shouldn’t have been kept out of this reunion. The popular author is not a part of the show and that’s upsetting many fans on social media.

What’s your take on this grand reunion? The New Year has turned special for us, at least!
