The Special is one of the several 20th-anniversary events which is planned by Warner Bros that includes a TV quiz contest for all the potter fans that has been hosted by Helen Mirren. It also includes cameo appearances by some of the cast and celebrity fans including comedians Pete Davidson and Jay Leno.
Tom Ascheim, president of Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults, and Classics has said “It has been an incredible journey since the debut of the ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone film’, and witnessing how it has evolved into this remarkable interconnected universe has been magical, to say the least”. He further said, “This retrospective is a tribute to everyone whose lives were touched by this cultural phenomenon — from the talented cast and crew who poured their heart and soul into this extraordinary film franchise to the passionate fans who continue to keep the Wizarding World spirit alive 20 years later.”
