The upcoming series has excited fans with its fresh take on the magical world. While a new generation of actors is stepping into beloved roles, some familiar faces are returning too. Tom Felton, who originally played Draco Malfoy in the films, is set to reprise the role on stage in the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. This new version of Draco is older and now a father, which matches Felton’s real-life age and brings new emotional depth to the character.
Isaacs, proud of Felton’s success, also posted his excitement about seeing Felton perform live on Broadway. He called him “son” in his message and shared that he had already booked tickets for the show. It was a touching gesture that highlighted the strong bond between the two actors who once played father and son on screen.
