Fans spot major mistake in Harry Potter anniversary special

The Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts special began streaming on HBO Max on January 1 and a major mistake surrounding Hollywood actor Emma Watson by the producers was seen.

A childhood photo of the Emma Watson’s was to be included. However, the makers used the picture of her co-celebrity Emma Roberts instead.
