The White Lotus' actor also praised Tom Felton, who played his son Draco in the films, for reprising his role in 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' on Broadway.

The Harry Potter fandom is responding to Tom Felton brushing off the controversy surrounding JK Rowling ’s anti-trans views. Last week, the former child star, 37, revealed he will reprise the role of Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway later this year.

As you might expect from someone still actively ensconced in the Harry Potter franchise, once and future Draco Malfoy Tom Felton is still quite deferential to author J.K. Rowling. On Sunday, the actor appeared on the Tony Awards red carpet in his first public appearance since announcing his Broadway debut in Harry Potter And The Cursed Child.

"The Crown" actor Bertie Carvel and "The IT Crowd" alum Katherine Parkinson have joined the cast of HBO's "Harry Potter" series. The network announced casting for Molly Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Cornelius Fudge and more.
