Everyone makes mistakes. It is a human characteristic that can sometimes be unavoidable. Indeed, mistakes can happen even where we do not expect them to, namely, in a pre-edited television special. That is what happened in the highly-anticipated HBO Max Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts wherein the cast of the beloved fantasy franchise was brought together for a reunion at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Only, the cast briefly included an unexpected addition: Scream Queens actress Emma Roberts.

The mistake happened during a segment in which Hermione Granger’s actress Emma Watson was reminiscing about her childhood and, as she was speaking, the editors included a picture that was supposed to be from her childhood. However, the picture that was shown of a young child sitting at a table wearing Minnie Mouse ears on her head was not Watson but Roberts, who had previously shared the photograph on her Instagram.

This mistake did not go over fans’ heads at all. A few sharp eyes managed to spot the blunder and pointed it out on social media. In response, Return to Hogwarts producers released a statement to EW, assuring that the mistake would soon be corrected: "Well spotted Harry Potter fans! You brought an editing mistake of a mislabeled photograph to our attention. New version up shortly.". In the age of digital editing, these kinds of lapses are easy to fix but it is still funny that they happen to begin with.
