From this point, he went to take on the tournament's three deadly tasks alongside Harry, Beauxbatons's Fleur Delacour, and Durmstrang's Viktor Krum, proving himself to be more than just the popular kid or a handsome face. But it's important to remember that Pattinson's character was a well-liked prefect, captain of the Hufflepuff quidditch team, and chosen as one of four Triwizard Cup champions. In fact, Pattinson only gets eight minutes of screen time throughout the entire 157-minute film, making it easy for some to overlook his character. If you've seen the movies, then you know Cedric doesn't have many lines. Still, I think Pattinson's role as one of the most memorable wizards in Hufflepuff history deserves credit where credit is due. Despite Cedric's notable influence in the fourth film, Pattinson's role is often overshadowed by the legacy of the sparkling stalker vampire he would later go on to play in 2008. At just 17 years old, Cedric sacrificed himself to Voldemort to give Harry the chance to escape and warn the rest of Hogwarts of the Dark Lord's return, breaking the hearts of Harry Potter fans (myself included) around the world in 2005. Years before he literally dazzled us onscreen as Edward Cullen in Twilight and even before he took on the lead role in The Batman, Robert Pattinson was fighting crime and channeling his supernatural abilities as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Diggory's tragic death at the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire still haunts us and it would have been amazing to see Pattinson reveal how he came on board for the role in the reunion.HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE, Robert Pattinson, 2005, (c) Warner Brothers/courtesy Everett Collection

Even as Robert Pattinson appeared in only one Harry Potter film, it's hard to imagine anyone else playing Cedric Diggory in the Potterverse. Although fans couldn't help but notice how some celebrities were missing from the reunion.

The reunion special also had directors of the Harry Potter films discuss casting and other major making moments. While it was a blast to see Harry, Ron and Hermione i.e Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson reunite in the Gryffindor common room, the special episode also featured appearances from several other actors who played essential parts in the film such as Robbie Coltrane, Mark Williams, Gary Oldman and Helena Bonham Carter come together again. Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts was released on January 1 and the reunion special turned out to be a nostalgic ride for Potterheads as they watched the lead cast of the films reminisce their filming journey.
