Tom Felton has spoken candidly about the upcoming Harry Potter TV reboot, expressing his excitement for the project. Two decades after first playing Draco Malfoy, the actor confessed it feels “unreal” that J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world remains so popular.
While promoting his new movie, ‘Gandhi,’ at TIFF 2025, Felton told Collider, “I’m very excited. I can’t believe, really, that the wizarding world is still going as strong as it is.” He noted that fans who were not even born when the early films were made still chant “Potter” at him.
“Most fans that shout out Potter at me weren’t born when the first film was even made. So, I’m really excited. The fact that they’re shooting it in Leavesden Studios, where we made the films, it’s a bit surreal again,” Tom continued.
Speaking about the forthcoming reboot, which is set to cover all seven of Rowling’s books in 10 seasons starting in 2027, Tom said, “I look forward to meeting the new Draco 2.0.” The role of Draco Malfoy in the HBO series will be played by Lox Pratt.
