The Harry Potter universe is returning to screens, this time as a long-form television series. The miniseries, produced by HBO and available on Max, claims to be a faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling's original seven books. Each season will focus on a single novel, providing more detail and character development than ever before.

Filming will commence in the summer of 2025 at Warner Bros and it is expected to take place in Leavesden Studios, where the original films were produced. A new cast will take on the legendary parts, with the goal of more precisely reflecting the characters' ages and personalities from the novels.

Despite the addition of new characters, one well-known character has subtly made a comeback: Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the first film series. Over the years, Felton gained popularity among fans and has continued to be involved with the Harry Potter community.

He has remained loyal to his Slytherin heritage, talked admiringly about his time in the role, and attended fan gatherings.

According to The Daily Mail, Felton will appear in the new series, but not in front of the lens. He is anticipated to have a supporting part in the production instead. He is now the sole member of the original cast involved in the project, however, specifics have not yet been disclosed.

His contribution creates a unique connection between the classic film series and this thrilling new chapter. With Felton's extensive understanding of the wizarding world and his unwavering devotion to the plot, his presence behind the scenes lends an added layer of enchantment to the show's progression.

Fans will undoubtedly be interested to watch how his influence affects the next generation of Harry Potter.
