In a joint Instagram reel, captioned 'Guess who's back,' Felton donned the familiar black suit with a wand in the pocket, rings and a long blonde wig, before ominously saying, 'scared, Potter?'. 'The blonde hair came back on and I immediately started crying for some reason,' Felton told the 'Today' show. 'It's such a huge part of my childhood. It's like me going back to high school,'. The 37-year-old originally portrayed the protagonist Harry Potter's schoolboy rival when he was a child. He described his return to the 'Harry Potter' universe as a 'pinch me' moment, adding, 'I keep thinking I'm dreaming.' 'I let go of that character 16 years ago and now getting the chance to step back in his shoes as a father this time, in a new story – I get to meet Draco as an adult, which is very exciting,' he added. Felton is the first actor from the movie series to join the cast of the stage play, which opened in London in 2016 and on Broadway in 2018.
