You can take the boy out of Hogwarts, but you can’t take the Hogwarts out of the boy. Tom Felton relives the magic at the Harry Potter film concert.
Infamous Harry Potter frenemy, Tom Felton is a few years removed from playing the infamous character Draco Malfoy. The famous Slytherin alumni has been busy since the Harry Potter series ended six years ago. He’s been filming movies like Rise of the Planet of the Apes and television shows Full Circle and Murder in the First. He’s currently doing a stint on the WB hit television show The Flash as Julian Albert. The 29-year-old actor, is currently in Vancouver filming The Flash when the Harry Potter film concert series came into town.
Considering its been over 15 years since Felton shot Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, he decided to take in the show. For Tom, he didn’t really disguise himself, so other Harry Potter fans wouldn’t notice he was at the concert. Donning a Slytherin sweatshirt and baseball cap, Felton blended in with the crowd. Felton wasn’t enough alone at the Harry Potter film concert. His partner in crime was Felton’s The Flash costar, Jesse L. Martin. Not to be outdone, Martin dawned a Slytherin scarf for the event.
Here’s the Slytherin worthy selfie with Tom Felton and Jesse L. Martin.
Thankfully, Felton captured the moment on his Instagram account stating “Yeah we did” and tagged Harry Potter movie director, Chris Columbus. The famous director responded with, “My two favorite actors! You guys are the greatest!”
Tom Felton continues to be very active in the Harry Potter community even years after filming of the series ended. He has up on multiple occasions reunited with his fellow Hogwarts alumni for events such as the grand opening of The Wizard in World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios theme park and showing up at the movie premiere of Emma Watson’s Beauty and the Beast.
