To honor this milestone, Warner Bros. has announced an extensive 'Back to Hogwarts' campaign that promises to transport fans back to the origins of the global phenomenon. The centerpiece of these festivities is a limited-run theatrical rerelease of the original film, digitally remastered to bring the magic of Hogwarts to a new generation of audiences on the big screen.
