Here's How Daniel Radcliffe is Helping Tom Felton Back into Harry Potter Universe For Broadway: ‘Holding My Hand…'
Tom Felton on Broadway
Ahead of making his Broadway debut, Tom Felton is spilling all the details about his time with fellow Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, helping him settle into the Draco Malfoy role, once again. Close to a decade and a half after taking his last bow from the role, following the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the actor is all ready to reprise his role of the blonde-haired Slytherin, albeit in his current age, returning to the world of wizards.
The play has cast Tom Felton for the Draco Malfoy role in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Owing to this, the actor was spotted at the 2025 Tony Awards, gearing up for his own Broadway debut. That's where the star was asked about receiving support from his fellow magical friends, and he let the tea be spilled about his old school chum Radcliffe. 'Radcliffe has done quite a bit of Broadway, so he's holding my hand and certainly helping me through all the things that are hard to learn.'
Tom Felton will wear the green cloak once again, stepping into Draco Malfoy's shoes from November 19. His run as the older version of the character is set to span 19 weeks, going well into the new year, and we're hoping his old pals come to visit.
HBO's Harry Potter series
On the other hand, HBO is gearing up for its series revival of the JK Rowling books with the role for the three leads, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, being awarded to Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout, respectively.

Katy Perry And Justin Trudeau Spotted Dining Together In Montreal: Romance Or Just Dinner?
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau sparked dating rumours after being spotted enjoying a two-hour dinner in Montreal, just weeks after Perry's split from Orlando Bloom. In a surprising crossover that sent the internet into a frenzy, pop icon Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were spotted dining together at Le Violon, a cozy neighbourhood restaurant in Montreal's Le Plateau, on Monday, July 28. The unexpected pairing comes just weeks after Perry's confirmed split from actor Orlando Bloom, fueling speculation that this dinner was more than just a friendly meet-up. According to a report by People, the duo enjoyed a leisurely meal featuring cocktails and gourmet dishes, including a lobster entrée. They were also seen visiting the kitchen to meet Chef Danny Smiles, thanking the staff before they left the restaurant. The dinner reportedly lasted over two hours, and paparazzi snaps of the evening quickly made their way across social media, sparking headlines and hashtags. While fans were quick to dub it a 'date night," sources close to the situation are painting a different picture. A TMZ report suggests that there may be no romantic angle here at all. Danny Smiles, co-owner and chef of Le Violon, told TMZ that the vibe between Perry and Trudeau didn't read as romantic. 'They seemed like two friends having a relaxed meal," he noted, shutting down rumours of a budding relationship. Still, the timing of the dinner has added to the intrigue. Earlier this month, Perry and Bloom, who share a daughter, Daisy Dove, publicly confirmed their separation after months of speculation. In a joint statement, their representatives stated that the couple had been 'shifting their relationship to focus on co-parenting" and that their priority remains raising their daughter 'with love, stability, and mutual respect." Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship began in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty, leading to an engagement in 2019 and the birth of their daughter in 2020. Justin Trudeau, meanwhile, separated from his wife, former TV host Sophie Grégoire, in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The former couple share three children—Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien. At the time, Trudeau posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, saying, 'We remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other." Whether Perry and Trudeau are simply friends or something more, neither party has commented on the evening or addressed the rumours. But in an era where celebrity sightings spark global headlines within minutes, one thing is certain: this dinner has left fans curious and the internet buzzing. Was it just a casual catch-up or the beginning of a new chapter for two high-profile single parents? Time, or perhaps another dinner, will tell. view comments First Published: July 30, 2025, 17:49 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
