Harry Potter enthusiasts have been buzzing about the iconic actor’s first performance on Broadway via social media. One fan quipped humorously on Reddit, “It seems he bears a striking resemblance to his father [Lucius].” Another chime in, “To be honest, I haven’t watched much beyond Harry Potter. However, I believe he was the most talented child actor in the series. I felt that the main three took some time to truly shine, but Draco was impressive from the get-go.
Many people suggested he should step away from the shadow of his Harry Potter character. One Reddit user put it simply, “He’s been stuck in that role since Harry Potter. Yes, it’s time for him to explore new opportunities.
As a devoted admirer, I wholeheartedly endorse this choice. It’s a delightful prospect to see him embody the iconic role he’s known for on stage, an experience that promises to captivate us all!
Felton appears thrilled about his first Broadway performance. He shared with Today, “It feels like a surreal moment.” He went on to say, “Sometimes I feel like I’m dreaming. I let go of that character 16 years ago, and now I get the chance to slip back into his boots, this time as a father, in a fresh tale…I don’t really know him as an adult. So, that’s the intriguing hurdle I’ll face next.
Similarly to the audience, Felton experienced growing up with Harry Potter. He began working in the Harry Potter film series when he was just 12 years old. Regarding his long-term role, the actor commented, “Harry Potter was a significant part of my childhood, and now I get to revisit that past while also moving forward.
