The cast of Harry Potter have reportedly been invited to film a one-off special later this month, following the success of the recent Friends reunion.
Leading names including Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), 32, Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), 33, and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), 31, will supposedly recreate iconic scenes from the franchise.
These are thought to include the boarding of the Hogwarts Express on platform nine-and-three-quarters as well as The Yule Ball.

The series premiered with Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone in 2001 and ended in 2011 with Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2.
Representatives for Daniel, Rupert, Emma and Warner Bros. have been contacted for comment by MailOnline.
Although supporting actors of the franchise have been reportedly asked to take part, it is unclear whether author J.K. Rowling – real name Joanne – will be joining them.

Daniel recently slammed the author over her comments about transgender people after she tweeted about an article entitled ‘Creating a more equal post COVID-19 world for people who menstruate’ last year.
Joanne wrote: ‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?’
In response, the former child star hit out at the mastermind who made him famous.

He said: ‘To all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been tarnished or diminished, I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have caused you’.
‘Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I’.
He continued: ‘I realize that certain press outlets will probably want to paint this as in-fighting between JK Rowling and myself, but that is really not what this is about, nor is it what’s important right now.
‘While Jo is unquestionably responsible for the course my life has taken, as someone who has been honored to work with and continues to contribute to The Trevor Project for the last decade, and just as a human being, I feel compelled to say something at this moment.’
The Woman In Black star released his statement via The Trevor Project, which is an American non-profit organization founded in 1998 focused on suicide prevention efforts among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning youth.
A representative for Joanne declined to comment when approached by DailyMail.com at the time.
