Why JK Rowling wasn’t part of Harry Potter 20th Anniversary reunion special

Hindustan Times  

Harry Potter’s 20th anniversary special Return to Hogwarts begins streaming on January 1. JK Rowling appeared in the Harry Potter anniversary special but through archival footage. An Entertainment Weekly report states that “an invitation was extended to Rowling to participate, but her team determined the archived comments from the writer were adequate.” As a result, while other cast and crew members appear in the special on the very sets used in the eight Harry Potter films, JK Rowling’s portions are from a 2019 recording. The special marks 20 years of the release of the first film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
