The former co-stars were colour coordinated as they handed out the award for the Best Limited Series or TV Movie category to Big Little Lies at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

Emma, 27, opted for a floor-length black gown with frill detailing on the shoulders and neck, and completed her look with a vibrant red lipstick, while Robert, 31, wore a black suit with a matching shirt, shoes and bow tie.

Hogwarts fans took to social media to express their excitement at the duo being back together, several years after they played Hermione Granger and Cedric Diggory in 2005’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

One user wrote: “Teenage me is losing her g*****n mind at Emma Watson and Robert Pattinson presenting an award together,” while another commented: "Y'all I could not handle the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire reunion with Emma Watson and Robert Pattinson at the golden globes tonight.”(sic)

One eagle-eyed fan pointed out that Emma and Robert were not the only two Harry Potter stars at the ceremony.

The user wrote: “David Thewlis, Gary Oldman, Emma Watson, Robert Pattinson. The Potterverse is well represented tonight at the #GoldenGlobes.”(sic)

Big Little Lies scooped a further two wins at this year’s ceremony.

Nicole Kidman was awarded the gong for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for her role as Celeste Wright, while her co-star Alexander Skarsgard was voted the Best Actor in a Supporting Role.

Other winners on the night included The Greatest Showman's movie track This Is Me for Best Original Song and The Handmaid’s Tale for Best Television Series.
