So the much-awaited Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts aired on Amazon Prime Video and HBOMax and Harry Potter stars spilled the beans on many subjects. For starters, Emma Watson had a crush on Tom Felton when they were younger. The 'boy who lived' aka Harry Potter, aka Daniel Radcliffe had a crush on Helena Bonham Carter, who starred as Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange in the film. During the reunion, Daniel revealed that he had a crush on her and even wrote a letter to her. Helena asked Daniel to read the letter that she brought along. "Dear HBC, It was a pleasure being your costar and coaster in the sense that I always ended up holding your coffee," read the letter.

Daniel joked about his "coaster" pun and continued to read the letter that read: "I do love you And I just wish I had been born 10 years earlier I might have had a chance. Lots of love and thanks for being cool."
