Actor Tom Felton, widely recognized for his portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the original “Harry Potter” films, has officially joined the crew of the upcoming HBO series adaptation of the franchise. According to reports from English-language media, his role is within the creative team working on the show, not as an actor cast in the series itself.
However, a popular theory has emerged among fans regarding Tom Felton`s involvement. Many speculate that despite current information, Felton might secretly be slated to play the role of Lucius Malfoy, Draco`s father – a character for whom casting has not yet been announced. Devotees of the franchise believe that Felton`s true casting might be intentionally kept under wraps for now.
The Harry Potter series adaptation was first announced in April 2023. The show is intended to span a decade, mirroring the timeline and events depicted in the original books. While the crucial roles of Harry, Ron, and Hermione are still in the casting process, it has been confirmed that actors for some other characters have already been selected.
