The new “Harry Potter” reunion special shows a photo of a young girl in Minnie Mouse ears.

However, the photo is correctly mislabeled as a young Emma Watson.

It was actually “Scream Queens” actress Emma Roberts, who was never in “Harry Potter.”

The producers have finally addressed the issue and replaced the photo in the special.

Watson finally addressed the controversy by posting the photo to her own Instagram account.

“I was NOT this cute,” she wrote, tagging Roberts and adding “#emmasistersforever.”

HBO Max commented, “Are we sure this wasn’t the effect of a Polyjuice Potion?”
