'It's Pronounced POTTAH': Tom Felton returns to the wizarding world, and the internet can't handle it
"Scared, Potter?" is officially heading back to the wizarding world — this time, not on screen, but on stage. The actor, who famously portrayed Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, is joining the Broadway cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for a limited 19-week run, beginning November 11. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The announcement, made via the official Cursed Child Instagram page, featured a then-and-now photo of Felton with his wand — echoing the signature sneer that made Malfoy an unforgettable foil. But it was Felton's own cheeky comment that cast the real spell over fans. 'It's pronounced POTTAH,' he wrote, reigniting one of the fandom's most iconic lines — and a thousand nostalgic goosebumps. The fan reaction? Nothing short of magical. One called it 'The most iconic comeback!' while another joked, 'You mean I woke up and this news is still real?' A third simply wrote, 'Ahhhh this is everything.' Another user hoped the moment could be immortalised: 'They need to tape this like Phantom so people who can't see it on stage will get to watch it!' Many fans gushed over how well Felton has aged, calling him 'es como el vino' — like wine, getting better with time. Some wished he'd joined the London cast too, with one writing, 'Might not get the chance to witness him on Broadway which is a shame.' From the silver screen to the Broadway stage, Felton's return has stirred up waves of nostalgia and excitement. While his Cursed Child role hasn't been officially confirmed, fans are already ready to relive the magic — with a bit more grey, a lot more heart, and that unmistakable drawl: 'POTTAH.'
