Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. A couple of weeks back, it was

officially returning to the wizarding world. But despite the whispers and speculation,

He's stepping right back into the Wizarding World, donning platinum blonde hair once again

Opening on November 11th, the Broadway production will mark the first time that a major actor from the original film franchise has joined the stage adaptation.

Felton will portray an adult version of his famous character, now a father, grappling with

the legacies of war, parenthood, and the past.

the epilogue of the Deathly Hallows left off following the children of Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco as they navigate the complexities of magical adolescence and familial legacy.
