Harry Potter is among the hottest IPs on the planet, and it is continually rising. The franchise has entertained viewers for many years, because of the books, stage performs, theme parks, and (after all) the Harry Potter motion pictures (that are streaming with a Max subscription). Actor Tom Felton performed Draco Malfoy all through all seven of these movies, and has returned to the Wizarding World by reprise his position in The Cursed Youngster on Broadway. And his hopes for that position are throughly lovable, particularly concerning Emma Watson.
The Harry Potter solid developed sturdy bonds whereas bringing Hogwarts to life, particularly the OGs who had been there for a decade. In an interview with MTV, the 37 year-old actor was requested if he received a number of texts from the group after information broke about him taking part in Draco on Broadway. He responded:
Sure, completely, yeah. ‘Trigger I couldn’t inform anybody. I used to be sworn to secrecy.
Whereas followers had a powerful response to him becoming a member of the Broadway firm of Harry Potter and The Cursed Youngster, it seems like his fellow actors had been simply as shocked as the remainder of us. He is the primary particular person to play his signature character as an grownup, so are you able to blame them?
Later in that very same interview, Tom Felton was requested which of the Hogwarts alum (who received again collectively for the Return to Hogwarts particular) blew up his telephone essentially the most. And he provided:
I believe Matthew Lewis took the mickey essentially the most, that I’m too outdated for it now and whatnot. However everybody, everybody’s very excited and supportive, and I’m positive I can drag as most of the Potter solid right here for the primary week as I can.
It seems it was Neville Longbottom himself who despatched Felton essentially the most gobsmacked emojis after his Broadway debut was introduced. For his half, Lewis expressed curiosity in taking part in some grownup characters within the growing Harry Potter TV sequence. Let’s get as many OGs again as doable please!
In that interview, Felton was additionally requested which of his Potter co-stars he would not prefer to see within the viewers of The Cursed Youngster. That is when the one and solely Emma Watson’s identify received dropped. As he put it:
I imply I wish to see everybody, clearly. I believe any of the Potter lot would most likely throw me off. I think about Emma smiling at me would make me break character.
Tom Felton has been open about his love for Emma Watson, together with flirtations that occurred once they had been youthful and dealing on the Harry Potter motion pictures. So it may not be shocking that he admitted seeing her smiling from the viewers may make him break character within the midst of a efficiency on Broadway. However who does not need that reunion to occur?
It is unclear if/when Watson goes to see Tom Felton’s return to Draco Malfoy, however I’ve to imagine that he’ll be getting some visits from his co-stars. In fact, followers are questioning if the unique Potter actors would reprise these roles for a Cursed Youngster film someday sooner or later. Hey, a man can dream.
The Harry Potter motion pictures are streaming on HBO Max, which can even be the house of the TV sequence. Sadly, the Incredible Beasts motion pictures aren’t anticipated to return within the 2025 film launch checklist or past.
