Harry Potter star visited by on-screen enemy during West End performances

A Harry Potter reunion was in order this week, as two on-screen enemies joined up at a West End production at the Criterion Theatre in London on Wednesday.

Tom Felton, who played the formidable Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film franchise, met up with Matthew Lewis as he performed as part of the cast of 2:22, A Ghost Story.

Matthew, who played Gryffindor warrior Neville Longbottom, was on hand to celebrate his real-life friends achievements as Tom plays the part of Sam in the stage show.

Posting a photo of the pair on social media on Wednesday night, Tom wrote on Instagram: "When your old school mate comes to see your play and some b****** insists on taking a picture."

In the photo, Tom and Matthew are in a friendly embrace as Matthew grins for the camera, prompting die-hard Potterheads to comment on the post.

One Instagram user wrote: "This is absolute class. I hope your father will hear about this!"
