Tom Felton is all on his mark to return as Draco Malfoy—the bully we all love and hate, too. Nothing can beat the grace that Tom Felton held throughout. However, while he is all set to make his return, he has noted that his Harry Potter co-star, Daniel Radcliffe, has lent him craft tips, as Radcliffe has more stage experience.

Tom Felton, the 38-year-old actor told “Good Morning America,” saying, “I’ve taken a few tips from Potter, this is true,” per New York Post. He further added that Daniel Radcliffe has been his inspiration, all the while.

Felton further said, “I saw him in his first show 10 plus years ago, and now obviously he is a Tony winner and a big inspiration for the reason why Broadway is so special.”

Talking about his role he said, “I helped shape [Draco] definitely as a kid but this time, he has a son, he’s a dad, so I’m taking on all sorts of parental duties as a Malfoy, which has been fun,” per NYP.

Cursed Child is set 19 years after the events of Deathly Hallows.
