It is a point of privilege to act as if what J.K. Rowling says and does with her money doesn’t affect you when you’re working on a project of hers. That’s what Tom Felton has and he used it while on the red carpet for the Tony Awards.
Felton is gearing up to take to Broadway in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. He’s reprising his role as Draco Malfoy in the production and as part of the promotion, he was asked to present an award at this year’s Tony Awards. You know, Broadway’s biggest night where non-binary performers took home the Tony as well as Jak Malone using his speech to advocate for trans rights? That Tony Awards!
