Harry Potter's Tom Felton Says OG Cast Is Still ‘Very Tight'
Tom Felton delighted Harry Potter fans as the actor recently shared new details about his connection with the original cast members. While attending the launch of the new Harry Potter outlet in Chicago, Felton opened up about the group chat with his co-stars from the franchise and revealed what he last sent.
Here's what Felton said about the cast's bond and how the magic of the series continues off-screen.
Tom Felton confirmed that the original Harry Potter cast maintains regular contact. 'In fact I just took a video of the store and sent it to them,' he said, referring to their WhatsApp group. He added, 'Yeah we're all very tight still, very close.'
On Wednesday, April 9, 2025, before the opening of the Harry Potter Shop in Chicago, Felton spoke to PEOPLE. The store is themed after Goblet of Fire and features merchandise, a Butterbeer bar, and references from the films. Felton, now 37, said the space brought him back 'hugely' to his days as Draco Malfoy. He added, 'Not only does seeing the house colors bring me back to being Team Slytherin all the way…but the experience of the store is magical.'
He reminisced about his time filming the series from 2001 to 2011, saying it's 'hard to pick' a favorite moment from the 11 years of making eight films. Holding a replica of his character's wand, he said, 'Lots of hours with this in my hand… so it's kind of cool to see that again. Yeah, many happy memories.'
Felton further noted the difficulty of meeting with other Harry Potter cast members in person due to geographical distance. 'We're usually in four corners of the earth at the same time, so it's difficult to round us all up together.' Despite that, he confirmed, 'Slytherins and Gryffindors are friendly.'
Although the group doesn't seem to have exchanged messages about the upcoming Harry Potter TV reboot, Felton said, 'I think we're all very excited to see the wizarding world continue.' He added, 'I look forward to knocking on young Draco's door and surprising him.'
The release date for HBO's Harry Potter TV series is yet to be announced.
