I've watched this reunion special a couple of times and I have enjoyed it each time.
My children (now aged 32 and 28) grew up with Harry Potter. We all read the books and enjoyed the movies as each was released.
It was always so very obvious that the wonderful J K Rowling SHOULD have been at the reunion special and her absence surprisingly went largely unnoticed, at least by me. It was only a little later that I learned that she had been "cancelled" from the reunion and shunned by most of the Harry Potter movies' stars for reasons that are well known and which I hesitate to mention here.
Then I became aware of what I consider to be the incredible ingratitude, primarily of Radcliffe, Watson and Grint when they sided against the women who almost literally made them. Most of the other young players in the Harry Potter movies (evidently with the single exception of Evanna Lynch, or the character, Luna Lovegood) also sided against JKR. But, significantly, most of the mature stars attended the reunion but defended JKR and her right to her opinions.
What almost all of the younger Harry Potter stars did to JKR is disgraceful and just so terribly ungrateful. Most of them owe her everything. This reunion special would, in my opinion, have been much better had JKR appeared, as she should.
In years to come, when the modern Western comes back to commonsense, their ingratitude and disloyalty will be recognised for what it was and perhaps they'll even wake up to the fact that they were wrong in doing what they did to JKR.
I have seen Radcliffe, Watson and Grint in other movies since Harry Potter. Radcliffe was sometimes OK, Watson occasionally good but Grint was always awful in the rubbish movies he chose to be involved in. But now, knowing what they've done, I simply refuse to watch anything that any of them might appear in.
