Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts is a wonderful look back at beloved films, but a small error caught the eye of wizards and muggles alike as a picture of Emma Roberts was accidentally used instead of one for Emma Watson.
As reported by TheWrap, Watson, who played Hermione Granger in all eight films, recalled how much of an impact the novels had on her own family when she was eight years old. As she was speaking, a photo of a young Emma was shown, but it was the wrong Emma.
Instead, a photo of Scream Queens and American Horror Story's Emma Roberts popped up. Social media users like @vee_delmonico99 noticed the error and posted a side-by-side of the scene from the special and an old picture of Roberts that she posted on Instagram years ago.
The producers of the special were quick to respond and have already replaced the image with one of a young Emma Watson.
"Well spotted Harry Potter fans! You brought an editing mistake of a mislabeled photograph to our attention. New version is up now," A statement to TheWrap read.
That small mistake aside, the special is well-worth a look for fans of the films. In our Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts review, we said that it "is a charming look back at a decade of Harry Potter movies, featuring headlining cast members, an inviting atmosphere, and a lot of love and laughter."
Just add this mistake to the long list of other pop culture gaffes, including the infamous Starbucks cup from Game of Thrones' final season.
