Almost 20 years after the release of 

Harry Potter in the Wizarding School

, there are still people who haven't seen the movie.

But the most surprising is that one of them is one of his stars.

Tom Felton, the unforgettable Draco Malfoy from the first to the last episode of the saga, recently participated in an event on TikTok organized by the streaming platform Peacock, during which he watched, in the company of fans from around the world, the first opus of the cinematic adventures of the young wizard.

Among the filming anecdotes revealed by the actor, we learn in particular that he had first auditioned for the title role (finally landed by Daniel Radcliffe), but that he is delighted to have played Drago, "a character great fun to play, ”as E!

Online.

Tom Felton also explained that the production team had "real" magic wands made for each actor, which were replaced for dangerous scenes with foam wands to prevent young stars from hurting themselves.

Unfortunately, no one was able to keep these precious artefacts, which were recovered at the end of the filming by the props who wanted to preserve all the material for later filming.

Leave a trace

Like the Machiavellian Draco Malfoy, Tom Felton however revealed that he had managed to leave his mark indelibly in the history of Harry Potter: he indeed engraved his name on a table during the shooting of the very first film.

The star also confided that we can see his grandfather, who plays a professor (anonymous).

He appears alongside Professor McGonagall in the crowd at the Quidditch match.

If his grandfather had never trained as an actor, it was his massive beard that apparently encouraged director Chris Columbus to offer him this extra role!

Finally, Tom Felton has made a revelation that may arouse the curiosity of fans of the franchise.

The actor indicated that all the stars are planning to meet to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film's release.

If he does not specify the nature of this "meeting", while uncertainties are still great because of the pandemic, it will probably be necessary to wait until the end of the year to find out more,

Hatty Potter at the School Sorcerers

being released on November 17, 2001.
