The first look at the Harry Potter reunion is here!

On Sunday, HBO Max released a brief teaser for the upcoming special, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, after Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses aired on TBS and Cartoon Network

The reunion, which is set to premiere Jan. 1 on the streaming service, will mark the anniversary of the franchise's first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which premiered 20 years ago last month. Original stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint will all return for the event, as well as many others from the original cast.

The new clip features a series of images that will be quite familiar to fans of the beloved franchise, beginning with someone holding up a copy of The Daily Prophet newspaper with the front page headline, "Hogwarts Welcomes Back Alumni."

Harry Potter creator and author J.K. Rowling will not make a personal appearance in any new content for the special, a source close to the production previously confirmed to PEOPLE. She will, however, still be shown in archival footage throughout.

Rowling, 56, came under fire in June 2020 when she appeared to support anti-transgender sentiments in a series of tweets. Though she denied that her views on feminism are transphobic, she doubled down on her controversial standpoints in a lengthy essay shared on her website days later.

Stars Radcliffe, Watson and Grint have each spoken out against Rowling's much-criticized remarks and expressed their support for the transgender community.

Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts will debut on HBO Max on Jan. 1, 2022.
