Tom Felton reprises Draco Malfoy character for Harry Potter play
Felton, 37, made his West End debut in the supernatural thriller 2:22 – A Ghost Story in 2022.
He will begin his performance on November 11 for a limited 19 weeks in Harry Potter And The Cursed Child, the Instagram page for the production said on Thursday.
The play, written by Adolescence co-creator Jack Thorne, began in 2016 in London and has had a Broadway run since 2018.
It was co-devised by Rowling, and is set 19 years after the events of the seventh and final book, with Ministry of Magic employee Harry and his wife Ginny Weasley waving off their youngest son Albus Severus to school.
The two-part play, which stretches over five hours, sees Albus struggle at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the weight of his family legacy and go to extreme and dangerous lengths to right the wrongs of the past.
Since the ending of the film franchise, Felton has been in 2011's Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and had recurring roles in the TV series Murder In The First, The Flash and Origin.
He has also used his voice in the Harry Potter video games, based on the movie, and featured in the special Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, who played Harry, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

Dumped Love Island stars spark romance rumours as they cosy up on night out

The pair didn't find love in the ITV2 villa, but enjoyed a night out on the outside - with some familiar faces. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island's Malisha and Remell cosied up on a night out Credit: instagram 4 They smiled and danced along as music played Credit: instagram 4 Malisha arrived alongside Emily and Yasmin as a new bombshell trio Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Malisha Jordan and Remell Mullins were both bombshells in the latest series. Malisha, 24, shared an Instagram story of herself and Remell, 24, from a night out. With music playing in the background, the pair sat together and smiled while dancing along. Fellow dumped Islanders including Blu Chegini, Shea Mannings and Caprice Alexandra joined them for the get together. Malisha was one of a trio of bombshell girls who entered the villa, alongside Emily Moran and Yasmin Pettet. During her time on the show, Malisha clashed with fellow villa girl Meg Moore. Namely, over co-star Dejon Noel-Williams - who is coupled up with Meg. After a recoupling, Malisha and Toni Laites were left vulnerable and at risk of being dumped. Both went on a date with new arrival Harrison Solomon - with only one returning to the villa with him. Harrison opted for US star Toni, meaning that Malisha was therefore dumped. Love Island star dumped by bombshell Harrison in cruel twist She said following her exit: "I don't regret anything, I did what I needed to do as a bombshell. "Sometimes the reactions were a bit uncalled for. "I did go into the first chat with an open mind and I said I don't want to have any arguments. "Then it just got heated. I'm not here for the drama… a lot of it was miscommunication. "Dejon was telling her one thing and telling me another. It was a mix up that wasn't necessary. They act like they're not closed, but they are closed off." As for Remell, he and Shea, 25, arrived together as bombshells on Day 3. He coupled up with Alima Gagigo - only to later be axed in a brutal double dumping. Taking to Instagram afterwards, Remell wrote: "And just like that… I'm officially out of the love island villa. What a mad, unforgettable ride. "First off, thank you to every single one of you who's supported me—whether you were backing me to find love, keeping up with the show, or just curious from what you've seen online—I'm genuinely grateful." "My journey might've been shorter than expected, but I walked in as me and walked out as me. No regrets," he continued. "I got to meet some incredible people, make real bonds and live out something most only dream about. "Seeing my name in headlines has been surreal to say the least—but trust, this is just the beginning." "I'm walking out with my head high and my heart full. Can't wait to show you lot what's next 🤞" he concluded, before signing off: "Big love always". Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.

Love Island hunk sparks concern as fans convinced he's suffered painful injury – did you see it?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans are convinced Conor may have suffered a painful injury before the show after spotting a clue on the show. The rugby player, 25, recently sparked concern after he showed off his pearly white gnashers while in the villa. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island fans noticed Conor's missing tooth on the right upper row Credit: Eroteme 4 Some viewers think it may be a result of a rugby injury Credit: Eroteme 4 Many viewers have defended Conor's natural teeth Credit: Eroteme Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a tooth missing from his upper right set and asked whether it might have happened on the show. One viewer wrote: "Not to be rude in the dental situation?" along with a picture of Conor and his missing tooth. But many fans took to reddit to explain that the missing tooth was likely a result of him playing rugby. This person shared: "Dental implants are very expensive and the process is long. He might not mind missing a side tooth which is fine! Genetic condition or a rugby injury perhaps? It's really not a big deal or anyone's place to judge." A second said: "He's played full contact rugby for years, I assume that was the cause. From following other players, they won't get a permanent fix until they retire from rugby because the chance is high it will just get damaged again." "Conor's teeth actually give his face character, they suit him. They are clean and look nice. Also he's a rugby player they tend to lose teeth it's high contact," a third commented. Another added: "He's a rugby player. There is literally no point getting your teeth done before you retire. My husband was missing his front tooth from rugby when I met him…I sorted that straight out ha!" While several other people defended the star's natural teeth. This viewer said: "It costs a fortune to get dental implants for regular people. He's attractive in any case. Better than the Turkey teeth." "I'd rather have real teeth like this than those piano keys the rest of them have got in their mouths," someone else fumed. Love Island star sparks fears she'll quit the show after tense bust-up saying 'she's going to walk' This person posted: "Teeth are unique to people? You're being rude. We don't all have turkey teeth! He probably lost it with rugby or whatever but yeah.. his teeth are unique to him." Conor's time in the villa hasn't been completely plain sailing after love interest Megan was dumped from the villa during a shock public vote. Since then, actress Megan has revealed that Conor slid into her DMs in the past. She told heatworld in an interview: "It's so funny, right? So on day one, Conor told me that he followed me on Instagram four years ago, and I never followed him back. "But then since coming out, I've seen that he follows me on TikTok and he's actually commented on one of my TikToks. "Again, I've not followed him back or even realised he had commented on one." She laughed: "So, yeah, it's nice that he's still trying four years later. "It's worked out for him now, I suppose." Eagle-eyed fans went wild over the theory that Megan and Conor knew each other before entering the villa - after photos seemingly showed them at the same nightclub. Old snaps show Megan with a pal in a night club, while another picture supposedly clocks Conor in the same club long before they entered the ITV2 dating show. The speculation comes after Megan was voted the least favourite girl by the public after an ugly split from Tommy. The Irish star was booted out the villa after finding herself in the bottom three girls, along with Shakira, Megan and Toni. The brunette bombshell's departure followed days of drama after she cracked on with Conor while in a couple with Tommy.

James Argent still in Michelle and Mark's inner circle despite attack on ex
James Argent was reportedly on a holiday with Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan after being handed a suspended prison sentence for gender violence against ex Nicoline Artursson in Spain Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright were on their recent holiday in Spain with disgraced reality star, James Argent, according to reports. The former TOWIE favourite, who goes by the nickname Arg, was handed a suspended prison sentence in May for gender violence against former girlfriend, Nicoline Artursson. Despite admitting to the offence of gender violence in Spain earlier this year, Arg has continued to make public performances and appearances with his band The Arg Band – with Mark's cousin Elliott Wright publicly backing the reality star. Meanwhile, Mark, 38, has been friends with Arg, 37, for years and is still said to be close to the wedding singer, who insisted he was "devastated" after pleading guilty to domestic violence charges against Nicoline two months ago. In a show of solidarity, it now looks like the telly star still has the support of his pal after the pair appeared to enjoy a family trip away together last month when Mark's sister, Natalya, posted a TikTok video, which included a shot of Arg on a sun lounger with the caption: "Spend the day with me, holiday edition." Neither Mark nor Michelle included any pictures of Arg when they posted snaps of their recent holiday on Instagram, with a source telling The Sun the couple were sticking by him, even though they are "completely unimpressed" by what happened between him and Nicole. They said: "Arg is basically Mark's family, it was never in question he'd support him, though of course he was completely unimpressed by everything that went down between Arg and Nicoline. 'Mark put his head in his hands when it all came out, mainly because he knows he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. "Arg is his best friend, and there is a lot of loyalty there, but Mark has a respected career and now a daughter - he absolutely doesn't condone violence towards women." Meanwhile, Michelle, who gave birth to her first child, Palma, four months ago, is said to be cautious, insisting that she 'doesn't want any bad influences around the couple's daughter'. The source continued: "It's all so close to home and she has grown to love Arg like family, so she was devastated and incredibly disappointed, especially now she has Palma." The Mirror has contacted Mark and Michelle's reps for comment. Arg was ordered to pay ex-girlfriend Nicoline £250 as compensation after admitting a domestic violence charge in May. The reality star admitted his crime at a court in Spai,n where he received a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order. He reportedly inflicted injuries to Nicolette's neck, arms, hand and leg after attacking her at her apartment in Costa del Sol. Speaking out about the scandal, Arg later insisted he was "devastated", telling the Mail: "I haven't relapsed. I am still three years and four months clean and sober. "I am devastated by what's happened."
