From The Flash to Rise of the Planet of the Apes to a number of other film and television projects, Tom Felton has carried on with his acting career the Harry Potter films concluded back in 2011. However, many still think of Draco Malfoy when the actor’s name comes up, a testament to how much the franchise’s cast embodied its iconic characters. And although it’s unlikely we’ll ever see the original cast together again, Felton did revisit his role as Draco Malfoy in a pretty unique way this week: on TikTok.
The actor, now 33, posted a video instructing followers, “Tell me you’re a Harry Potter fan without telling me you’re a Harry Potter fan.” He then offered to “go first,” revealing himself wearing Hogwarts robes and carrying a wand. Fittingly, the robes were in Slytherin colors, just like Draco’s back when.
And that’s not the only way Felton paid homage to Draco. After pulling out his wand, he uttered his character’s most famous line: “My father will hear about this.”
Longtime fans will immediately recognize Draco’s favorite rebuttal, which he uses numerous times to challenge his fellow students, and even Hagrid. Lucius Malfoy would bring his wealth and connections down upon anyone who challenged his son, and Draco’s willingness to embrace this became a running joke among fans.
The video, which received more than 4 million views since it went up, was followed by plenty of comments from Harry Potter fans sharing their own favorite lines and memories.
And that’s not the only Harry Potter moment Felton has had recently. The other day he happened to run into Bertie Gilbert, who played Draco’s son Scorpius Malfoy in the epilogue to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2, when they both at a screening of In The Heights:
Despite the fact that it’s been a decade since the original films ended, it’s clear Felton and his followers are still committed. It really gives new meaning to another famous Harry Potter phrase: “Always.”
