Over a decade after the conclusion of the Harry Potter film collection (which is streamable with a Peacock subscription), a franchise alum is returning to The Wizarding World. Tom Felton is formally reprising his function as Draco Malfoy for the Broadway manufacturing of Harry Potter and the Cursed Baby. It is a main improvement and one which Felton would not appear to take evenly. The truth is, he even just lately described why he “cried” throughout his becoming.
I significantly couldn’t imagine it once I noticed Tom Felton donning the darkish robes and bleach blonde hair once more for the Cursed Baby promos. He’s the spitting picture of his fictional dad, Lucius Malfoy! One of the best half is that the 37-year-old actor would be the identical age as his now-adult Slytherin character. If you happen to’re already emotional about all of this, then the story that Felton shared with Entry Hollywood about his costume becoming may actually hit you in your feels:
I cried. The costume was one factor. The wig, the blonde hair, I had been dying it for eleven years. After they put the blonde wig on, I can not even inform you why, however I shed a tear.
My guess for why Tom Felton “shed a tear” whereas sporting the blonde wig was that it was surreal for him to be in that scenario. In fact, that is simply an assumption on my half. However, this does characterize a full-circle second for Felton, as he is as soon as once more enjoying the character that made him a star. I would most likely be emotional as effectively if I have been within the British actor’s place.
Personally, I am additionally completely happy for Felton in that he now not has to endure the extreme ordeal of dying his hair to play Draco. And, once I say intense, I imply that the Debtors actor needed to apply layers of peroxide and tint for days to get Malfoy’s bleach blonde hair, and he mentioned the method felt like “fireplace ants” biting his scalp. It is mentioned that one should endure for his or her artwork, however that simply sounds brutal.
Again in 2019, Tom Felton mentioned he couldn’t think about reprising his function for a Cursed Baby film. Whereas there’s nonetheless no discuss of a movie adaptation of the play (so far as we all know), the Broadway manufacturing is definitely nothing to scoff at. Upon touchdown the function, Felton eve obtained congratulations from Jason Isaacs, who performs Draco’s father (Lucius) within the movies.
Regardless of the Draco performer’s preliminary hesitance to hitch one other potential movie, Felton is open to returning for the upcoming Harry Potter TV present — which is ready to air on HBO Max — in some type or vogue. I am unsure whether or not that’ll really occur however, on the very least, followers can sit up for his reprisal for the Broadway manufacturing.
I would not be stunned if a few of the individuals who attend Harry Potter and the Cursed Baby showings occur to shed a couple of tears whereas watching Tom Felton on stage. The mere considered it’s fairly loopy (in a great way). Followers can see him don the robes and blonde wig when the present performs on Broadway for 19 weeks, beginning in November.
