Twenty-five years after the release of the first Harry Potter film, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” J.K. Rowling’s magical universe is making a comeback. In 2027, a brand new series adapted from the saga will be available on the Max platform. HBO has gradually unveiled a cast mixing young talents and seasoned actors.
The lineup includes Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as the formidable Rogue, Janet McTeer as Professor McGonagall, and Nick Frost as Hagrid. A new cast that intrigues fans of the saga.
Memories above all
In an interview with Collider, Tom Felton was invited to address the new generation of wizard apprentices at Hogwarts. His advice? “I would just say to take lots of pictures and steal lots of things on set. The last part is a joke, of course. But really take a lot of photos,” he revealed.
The Draco Malfoy actor explained why: “Because when I see one that I haven’t seen in a long time, it reminds me of how much fun we had. And back then, we didn’t have cell phones, so it’s a little easier today.”
A return to the roots
While Tom Felton will not be in the series, he recently reprised his iconic role. In the play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” on Broadway, the actor portrays Draco Malfoy 19 years after the last novel in the Harry Potter saga.
“Being part of the Harry Potter films was one of the greatest honors of my life. Joining this production will be a very strong moment for me (…) It’s surreal to put on those shoes and, of course, the famous platinum hair. And I am delighted to be able to follow his story to the end and share it with the best fan community in the world,” he shared at the time of the launch.
