A bittersweet, magical trip down memory lane, Harry Potter: Return to Hogwarts offers everything you could possibly want out of a reunion special.
It is a charming if at times saccharine reunion and, the bottom line, good television. But it would have benefited hugely from proper input from the woman who made it all possible.

Millions of young fans dreamt of being part of Harry Potter’s world; Return to Hogwarts is possibly the closest you’ll ever feel to achieving it.
Overall, "Return to Hogwarts" is perhaps more magic-filled than consistently magical. But when the special gets it right, streaming's latest trip down memory lane not only provides inspiration to go re-watch these movies, but it does cast a certain kind of spell unlike most Hollywood-orchestrated reunions by conjuring a touching sense of the shared experience that these boys and girls lived.
It is a slick and calculated production, designed to give Potterheads exactly what they want, how they want it. But it contains enough untold stories and honesty from the participants and unfakeable camaraderie to give it more genuine heart than probably anyone expected.
All this exquisite set design and logistical wrangling turns out to be in service of only fitfully compelling material.
If you’re a “Harry Potter” superfan, you’ll probably find returning to Hogwarts and seeing your favorite characters reunited pleasant enough. Just don’t expect anything passing for growth.
This documentary played automatically after I finished the last movie and it's so well directed that I watched till the end. And for my surprise, I could not contain my tears. It felt so intimate, with a good touch of nostalgia and respect with the cast and directors. I loved it. If I know it was that good, I'd watch it before.
To say it’s not perfect, I’d like to know more unknown details about the movies, creative intentions (about the adaptation itself), and thoughts of J.K. Rowling, since she’s the head of all of it.

Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts is a delightful meeting with full of wonderful anecdotes for Harry Potter lovers. It meant a lot to me as one of those young people who went to Harry Potter in the only cinema in my district. I want to pass this unique project, which has a special place, without scoring.

Pues más o menos lo que te puedes esperar de un reencuentro pasados 20 años, con sus más y sus menos.
Tiene un poquito de todo, su parte emotiva, curiosidades que no sabías, anécdotas, relaciones entre el cast, el cómo fluyó y funcionó todo, y eso es guay.
Para un friki de la saga sirve para recordar cosas que algún día leyó, para alguien que solamente se las ha visto de refilón, le hará enterarse de cosas guays y por lo que es tan maravillosa esta saga.
Bien la estructura, bien planteado, eso sí, faltan cositas, y personas, no sé si por rencillas entre ellos o por contratos, pero hubiese molado que salieran más gente.
· Cosas buenas: si eres fan, te encantará, puede incluso que te salte la lagrimilla, tiene un buen equilibrio en todas sus partes, y la química entre ellos después de tanto tiempo es algo mágico.
· Cosas malas: si no te va mucho, te puedes aburrir, no está J.K. Rowling, que creo que aportaría bastante a todo lo narrado, y faltan cositas que han omitido sin saber porqué.
· Conclusión: no hay mucho más que añadir, es algo bonito de ver, que no te va a cambiar la vida, pero que te puede hacer revivir cosas... eso, mágicas.
