Tom Felton said he is "so excited" to see Rupert Grint back in the role of Ron Weasley, as the former Harry Potter colleagues continue to follow separate paths in film, television and theatre. Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the film series, discussed his enthusiasm in an interview with the BBC while also outlining plans to take on work on Broadway.
Broadway move
Felton told the broadcaster that moving into theatre in New York represents a new challenge in his career. He described the prospect of performing on Broadway as an important step and said he welcomed the different demands of live performance compared with screen acting.
Friendships from the franchise
Reflecting on his time on the Harry Potter films, Felton emphasised the close bonds formed among the cast. He said the friendships with former co-stars have endured and that he enjoys watching their work, singling out Grint's return to the character as something he is keen to see.
Legacy and next steps
The remarks come as members of the original Potter ensemble pursue varied projects across stage and screen. Felton's comments underline both the long-running public interest in the franchise and the personal connections that persist between actors who grew up working together. He said he was looking forward both to his own upcoming stage work and to catching up with the new performances of his former colleagues.
