The magic of Hogwarts returned to real life as
Daniel Radcliffe and
Tom Felton shared a warm reunion in New York City. The former co-stars met on Monday, December 1, 2025, during a special screening of ‘Merrily We Roll Along,’ the filmed version of the hit 2023
Stephen Sondheim Broadway revival led by Radcliffe. Fans were delighted when the duo hugged, chatted, and posed for a photo, their first public picture together since 2011.
From rival wizards to real-life friends
According to People, the actors’ catch-up was full of warmth and nostalgia. The last time they were photographed together in public was in July 2011 at the New York premiere of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.’
Radcliffe and Felton first met while filming ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,’ where Radcliffe played Harry Potter and Felton became iconic as Draco Malfoy. Although their characters were rivals on screen, the friendship behind the scenes has lasted more than two decades. Felton recently shared how Radcliffe inspired his own love for the stage, saying he was amazed after seeing Radcliffe in his first Broadway show over a decade ago and calling him a major reason Broadway feels special to him.
Tom Felton’s Broadway moment as Draco Malfoy
Felton is currently making waves with his Broadway debut, stepping back into Draco Malfoy in ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.’ Now in its seventh year in New York, the play explores the lives of the next generation of Hogwarts families, centering on the sons of Harry and Draco as they confront the legacy of the wizarding war. Audience response has been overwhelming. The production recently broke box office records, earning more than $3.15 million during Thanksgiving week, as fans flock to see Felton reprise the role that defined his early career.
With Radcliffe thriving on Broadway and Felton enchanting audiences night after night as Draco, their reunion feels like a full circle moment for Potterheads everywhere.
