He also returned alongside many of his fellow cast members, including Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), for a TV special in 2002 marking the 20th anniversary of the Harry Potter movies, reported People.

'It's Pronounced POTTAH': Tom Felton returns to the wizarding world, and the internet can't handle it
"Scared, Potter?" is officially heading back to the wizarding world — this time, not on screen, but on stage. The actor, who famously portrayed Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, is joining the Broadway cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for a limited 19-week run, beginning November 11. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The announcement, made via the official Cursed Child Instagram page, featured a then-and-now photo of Felton with his wand — echoing the signature sneer that made Malfoy an unforgettable foil. But it was Felton's own cheeky comment that cast the real spell over fans. 'It's pronounced POTTAH,' he wrote, reigniting one of the fandom's most iconic lines — and a thousand nostalgic goosebumps. The fan reaction? Nothing short of magical. One called it 'The most iconic comeback!' while another joked, 'You mean I woke up and this news is still real?' A third simply wrote, 'Ahhhh this is everything.' Another user hoped the moment could be immortalised: 'They need to tape this like Phantom so people who can't see it on stage will get to watch it!' Many fans gushed over how well Felton has aged, calling him 'es como el vino' — like wine, getting better with time. Some wished he'd joined the London cast too, with one writing, 'Might not get the chance to witness him on Broadway which is a shame.' From the silver screen to the Broadway stage, Felton's return has stirred up waves of nostalgia and excitement. While his Cursed Child role hasn't been officially confirmed, fans are already ready to relive the magic — with a bit more grey, a lot more heart, and that unmistakable drawl: 'POTTAH.'

Who is Dr. Salvador Plasencia and why he faces prison for Matthew Perry's death?
Dr. Salvador Plasencia, the California physician accused of illegally supplying ketamine to Friends star Matthew Perry, has agreed to plead guilty to four felony counts of drug distribution that directly contributed to the actor's overdose death in October 2023. According to federal prosecutors, Plasencia repeatedly provided Perry with ketamine — a powerful anesthetic with psychedelic properties — without any legitimate medical reason in the weeks leading up to his death. The drugs were delivered in person, including at Perry's Los Angeles home and even a public parking lot, where Plasencia reportedly injected the actor while he sat in the back seat of his car. Court documents reveal that Plasencia supplied Perry with 20 vials of ketamine, a package of lozenges, and syringes between late September and mid-October 2023. Prosecutors also allege he left drugs with Perry's assistant, despite knowing the assistant had no medical training. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Harry Potter Actress Stuns Fans With Grown-up Pics Reportingly Undo As part of a plea agreement filed in Los Angeles federal court, Plasencia faces a potential sentence of 15 to 21 months in prison. However, under federal law, the judge could impose a sentence of up to 40 years and a $2 million fine. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner determined that Perry, who was 54, died from the 'acute effects of ketamine,' with additional contributing factors including drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine, an opioid. Live Events Federal investigators have charged a total of five individuals in connection with Perry's death. Three have already pleaded guilty, including Perry's longtime assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who admitted to helping procure ketamine through doctors and a drug dealer. Two other defendants, Dr. Mark Chavez and Erik Fleming, have also pleaded guilty and await sentencing. Another key figure in the case, Jasveen Sangha — known as the "Ketamine Queen" — is accused of supplying the fatal dose and is scheduled to stand trial in August. She has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors say Plasencia tried to conceal his misconduct by fabricating a false "treatment plan" for Perry to justify his unauthorized ketamine prescriptions. Perry, who had been open about his decades-long struggle with addiction, was found unresponsive in his hot tub on October 28, 2023. His sudden death shocked fans around the world and reignited scrutiny around the misuse of therapeutic psychedelics like ketamine.
