Emma Watson stages a 'Harry Potter' mini-reunion — but it's not the first

It’s been seven years since the Harry Potter film franchise came to a close, but as a recent post on Instagram makes clear, fans are still clamoring to see the series’ stars get back together.

On April 16, Tom Felton (aka Draco Malfoy) uploaded a snapshot that’s set the Internet ablaze — since it features him alongside his Hogwarts classmates Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom).

With over 1.1 million “likes” to date, the photo clearly struck a chord with Potterphiles, who remain eager to see the films’ leads reunite in whatever way possible. Fortunately for them, they’ve had numerous such chances in recent years, as the Harry Potter stars have often been spotted together, whether in social situations or at Potter-related events such as last year’s opening of the “Forbidden Forest” exhibit at Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London.

When The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened at Universal Studios Orlando in 2014, many of the films’ cast members were on hand to celebrate the event.

That event produced a number of photos from Felton alongside his Malfoy father, Jason Isaacs, as well as other notable co-stars.

Me and the wizarding blond bombshell reunited and wandering around Universal's #wizardingworldofharrypotter extremely cognito. A welcome escape from the horrors of the world until we answered questions on stage and were reminded what the stories were all about: fighting fascism, embracing diversity and never giving up hope. Suddenly seemed a lot less fantastical. Still, huge love and thanks to all the Potterites who made it a glorious weekend. You're all brilliant – even the tragically unSlytherin. X

Here's the album cover. Now all we have to do is come up with the songs. Titles anyone?

At this year’s Golden Globes, Watson found herself in an impromptu Potter reunion when she presented the award for best limited series or TV movie with Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory).

Watson also ran into Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) on the red carpet at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival premiere of The Circle.

Earlier this year, many of the film’s cast members — Stan Ianevski (Viktor Krum), Natalia Tena (Nymphadora Tonks), and James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) — joined Wright at Universal Studios Orlando for a Q&A as part of the park’s Harry Potter celebration.

And on her official Instagram page, Wright has also routinely posted photos with her fellow Potter alums, including her series classmate Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), brother Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), and husband Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), as well as director Christopher Columbus:
