As you might expect from someone still actively ensconced in the Harry Potter franchise, once and future Draco Malfoy Tom Felton is still quite deferential to author J.K. Rowling. On Sunday, the actor appeared on the Tony Awards red carpet in his first public appearance since announcing his Broadway debut in Harry Potter And The Cursed Child.

Tony Awards red carpet, Tom Felton chats with THR and about his decision to reprise his role as Draco Malfoy in Broadway’s Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Plus, he shares his excitement for the cast of the upcoming Harry Potter series.

Tom Felton says he's not really "attuned" to J.K. Rowling's controversial trans comments as he attends the Tony Awards in New York on Sunday. The actor was asked if Rowling sharing her views online about the transgender community affected his decision to join Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
