Tom Felton would be up for reprising the role of Draco Malfoy should a Harry Potter sequel ever be green-lit, the actor recently shared.
Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in all eight of the Harry Potter movies, revealed he would consider returning to the franchise in his memoir, Beyond the Wand: The Magic & Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard.
He wrote: “I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t consider it. I definitely don’t miss Draco Malfoy, but I am very affectionately linked to him. It seemed, looking back at it now that Potter would be the only thing in my life. But there were many, many things ahead of that.”

Following the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Felton went on to appear in films such as The Apparition, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and the critically acclaimed Belle. He’s also had had roles in several TV shows, including The CW’s The Flash and Origin.
His memoir also details his personal struggles, going into the period after he finished filming the wizarding franchise when he struggled with addiction and rehab. He credited Emma Watson for helping him open up about that time, saying: “I was encouraged by a few people, Emma Watson specifically, to tell the whole story and not just sort of cherry-pick the fluffy bits.”
He added: “Not just because it was cathartic for me. But also in the hope that sharing those parts of my story will help others that are maybe not going through the best time.”
