Tom Felton is making a lot of Harry Potter fans’ dreams come true right now as he is reprising his role as Draco Malfoy on the Broadway stage in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It’s a big step for Felton, who had not done Broadway previously, but the actor previously spoke about what a “big inspiration” co-star Daniel Radcliffe’s Broadway career had been. It’s a fact that Daniel Radcliffe himself is having a bit of trouble reconciling.

Tom’s older than me.he was always like the cool kid growing up. It’s crazy that he would think of me as an inspiration for anything, but that’s really sweet.
