Tom Felton Stands Behind J.K. Rowling: Why the Draco Malfoy Star Supports the Author Despite Controversies

Tom Felton, better known as the Slytherin villain Draco Malfoy, takes a completely different path. The 37-year-old publicly shows his support—or rather, his deep gratitude—for J.K. Rowling. For him, it is clear that her work has changed the world.

Why He Does Not Distance Himself

At the Tony Awards in New York, Felton was directly asked about the heated debate. His answer? The matter doesn't really affect him, and he is not really "in" the whole discussion about Rowling's statements. Instead, he highlighted how incredibly grateful he is for the great works she has created.

The Magic Above All

Felton repeatedly emphasizes that he has never experienced anything that has brought the world together as much as the "Harry Potter" series. And for that, only one person is responsible: the controversial author herself. Years ago, he expressed similar sentiments, praising Rowling's unique ability to bring joy to generations.

Draco Malfoy is Back!

The actor's enthusiasm for the magical world seems unbroken. Quite the opposite! After eight films in which he shone as Harry's arch-enemy, Tom Felton now returns to his iconic role. He will take the stage as the adult Draco Malfoy in the Broadway production "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." This return to the magical world once again underscores how deep his connection to the franchise is. For Tom Felton, the magic of the books and films, which he owes to J.K. Rowling, seems to stand above any controversy.
