Tom Felton tells new Draco Malfoy actor to steal props from Harry Potter set

  • Tom Felton, who portrayed Draco Malfoy in the original Harry Potter films, has offered support to Lox Pratt, the 14-year-old actor cast in the role for the new HBO series.
  • Felton confirmed he sent word to Pratt and his parents, providing his contact details for encouragement but deliberately avoiding specific acting advice, stating it is Pratt's own journey.
  • He encouraged Pratt to enjoy the experience, take many pictures, and even “steal as many props as you can” for their future value.
