Tom Felton’s Heartwarming Response to a Young Harry Potter Fan

The Harry Potter series, a worldwide phenomenon, captivates generations of enthusiasts through its books, theme parks, stage performances, and, not forgetting, the Harry Potter films (now available with a Max subscription). Fans of these movies were recently thrilled by an astonishing announcement: Tom Felton, who portrayed Draco Malfoy in the films, will reprise his role in The Cursed Child on Broadway. Notably, this 37-year-old actor has just expressed a heartwarming message to a fan who was overjoyed by this news.

Years after his original tenure as Draco, Felton has continued to be one of the Wizarding World’s biggest cheerleaders. And while fans have been wondering about a Cursed Child movie, the actor is getting to reprise his role as adult Draco on the Great White Way. Felton posted a sweet video on Instagram, which show him responding to a young fan who was freaking out over him returning as the famous Slytherin. Check it out below:

Isn’t it adorable? Instead of just liking or commenting on the video, Felton took special effort to brighten this young fan’s day. I truly hope we’ll hear about her meeting him at the Stage Door if she ever makes it to New York. Who knows, maybe he might invite her for a backstage encounter on the Broadway stage – something some productions offer their cast and staff as a special perk.

On Max, you can stream the entire Harry Potter series for just $9.99 per month on their Ads plan. Choose from three different plans after subscribing, and take advantage of a 20% savings if you opt for an annual prepayment. Check out the deal here!

Revisiting the character of Draco Malfoy after so many years certainly feels surreal for the actor, and it’s not just the legions of fans who feel this way. Tom Felton revealed that he became emotional during his costume fitting for “Cursed Child,” particularly when he donned his blonde wig again. This emotional moment is likely to fuel further speculation about the possibility of him and other “Harry Potter” cast members reprising their roles in a film adaptation of “The Cursed Child.” Since they are growing older, they can now portray adult versions of their iconic characters.

Indeed, there has been some criticism surrounding his involvement in the Broadway play, too. When questioned about J.K. Rowling’s ongoing controversies while preparing to reprise Draco, his response didn’t meet expectations for those hoping he’d take a stance and align himself with the transgender community, much like Daniel Radcliffe has done with his platform. Similarly, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Eddie Redmayne from Fantastic Beasts have all taken similar positions.

The story primarily revolves around Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy’s sons, embarking on a journey across various universes within the Harry Potter universe. Characters such as Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny are also portrayed in their adult years. As of now, it appears that movie adaptations may not be in the works, with the attention instead shifting towards the upcoming Harry Potter television series.

The Harry Potter series is now available for streaming on Max, where you’ll also find their upcoming TV show. As of now, there are no plans for new movies in the 2025 release schedule or beyond; however, fans can watch “The Cursed Child” on Broadway and the West End instead.
