Some “movies” target=”_blank”>Harry Potter< that appeared in the “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts” special.
On New Year’s Day, HBO Max debuted the retrospective, which reunited key cast members from the movie franchise, such as Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. Watson, as fans know, played Hermione Granger in all eight of the franchise’s films. However, one eagle-eyed fan noticed a moment in the special that saw the 31-year-old replaced with another Emma — “tv” target=”_blank”>American Horror Story<

“Well spotted Harry Potter fans! You brought an editing mistake of a mislabeled photograph to our attention. New version is up now,” read a statement from the producers provided to Fox News.
The gaffe went viral thanks to one eagle-eyed fan who spotted the photo and recognized it as one that Roberts, 30, shared on her Instagram in 2012.

“GUYS HELP ME THATS LITERALLY EMMA ROBERTS NOT EMMA WATSON,” the user wrote on Twitter along with a screenshot of both the image on the HBO Max special and Roberts’ Instagram post.
Fortunately, besides the photo mistake, there was no shortage of former “Harry Potter” stars who were in attendance to discuss the film, its legacy and what it has been like for them since the eighth and final installment (not including the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise) concluded in 2011.
