Tom Felton Advises New Draco Malfoy to “Steal Props” on Set

Tom Felton, the original Draco Malfoy, offering advice

Actors from the original “Harry Potter” film franchise are actively supporting and mentoring the new cast set to star in the upcoming HBO series.

Tom Felton, renowned for his portrayal of Draco Malfoy across all eight films, personally connected with Loxton Pratt, who will take on the iconic role in the forthcoming HBO series. Felton shared his contact details with Pratt and his parents, offering help and encouragement, along with several valuable pieces of advice. Among them, a particularly witty yet practical recommendation stood out: “steal props.”

“Have as much fun as possible, take as many pictures as you can, and of course, steal as many props as you can – they’ll be worth a fortune. And if you ever need a word of encouragement or have any questions, I’m always here to help.”
— Tom Felton

Similar gestures have been made by other original cast members. Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint previously penned letters to Dominic McLoughlin (the new Harry Potter) and Alastair Stout (the new Ron Weasley) respectively, officially passing on the torch.
