Actor Tom Felton, known for his role as Draco Malfoy, has been named a producer and may portray Draco's father in a new series.

Casting and production update

According to the original report, producers invited Felton to take a producing role on the forthcoming adaptation of the Potter universe.

The same report states Felton may also appear on screen as the adult parent of the character he originally portrayed.

The report notes that a number of those cast members were not invited to participate in the new series, while Felton received an invitation.

Neutral summary

Producers have positioned Felton as both a creative contributor and possible cast member, while the composition of the broader original ensemble remains unconfirmed.
