Could it be that everyone’s fave Slytherin is returning to Hogwarts for another term?
Unlikely, as the most recent chapter of the famous magical series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, was published in 2011, more than ten years ago.
Time seems to fly by, and no one is more aware of this than the man behind Harry Potter’s adversary, a now 35-year-old Tom Felton.
The child actor was only 13 when he first took on the character of Draco Malfoy in the series, and he emerged as a fully-fledged adult.
So we can only image what it must have been like for Tom to return to Hogwarts – or rather, the Warner Brothers Studio Tour in Watford – as he did today.
We can only picture what it would be like to tour Hogwarts today and come face-to-face with Tom in person.
Tom took to social media wearing a black cap – perhaps to blend in – and some brown pants, as well as a black shirt to commemorate the event as he stood in the Great Hall.
Two visitors, one of whom was donning a Slytherin scarf, snapped a hilarious photo in the large chamber.
Tom stood behind them in a long shot and posed for his own picture, but we’re confident if the angle is perfect, these two Potterheads will be surprised to discover Tom standing directly behind them when they go through their pictures from the day.
Fans were similarly amused by the idea, as one wrote: ‘Can you imagine being those two girls on the left in Slytherin scarves…. Seeing this posted and not realizing it was THE Draco Malfoy behind you? 😂❤️❤️’.
Another commented: ‘You can take the man out of Hogwarts, but you can’t take the Hogwarts out of the man! 🐍💚’.
‘Best place in the world❤️’, wrote another Harry Potter fan.
This comes after it was discovered that Tom’s beloved villain Draco only had 31 minutes and 45 seconds of screen time in the eight features.
The kid performer received a whopping £14 million for his efforts in bringing JK Rowling‘s endearing antagonist to life – not bad for half an hour’s labour.
It appears that Potter is still a big part of many cast members’ hearts, not just Tom’s, as he recently disclosed that they still have an active WhatsApp group where they exchange jokes about ‘Gryffindorks’ and other such things.
How very iconic.
