During the Harry Potter reunion special on HBO Max, there was a funny mix-up where they showed a picture of young Emma Roberts instead of a young Emma Watson. Eagle-eyed viewers immediately alerted HBO Max, and now it looks like the streaming service took care of things.

I’m sure the person responsible for the slip-up was freaking out, but it ended up being more funny than anything else. Emma Watson herself was also a great sport about it, sharing her amused reaction on Instagram:

I just have to add: yes, Emma, you are also this cute!

Tom Felton claims blame for Harry Potter special mix-up

Funnily enough, this wasn’t the only gaff from the special. This second goof was more understandable: the special mixed up the name tags for Oliver Phelps and James Phelps, the identical twin brothers who played the Weasley twins.

Oliver pointed it out in the Instagram post below:

I think the funniest thing about this was Tom Felton’s (Draco Malfoy) very Slytherin response in the comments: “It was my doing.” I knew it.

If you haven’t already, check out the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts special on HBO Max. It’s quite possibly the best thing you’ll watch all year (or ever).
