Old friends reunite!\n<\/p>\n
Harry Potter<\/a> alums Daniel Radcliffe<\/a> and Tom Felton<\/a> shared a magical reunion on Monday night, while attending the New York City premiere of Merrily We Roll Along, a live capture of the Stephen Sondheim musical production <\/a>that won Radcliffe his Tony Award.\n<\/p>\n Video of the event captured the moment when the former costars spotted each other. The sweet interaction sees Felton put a hand on Radcliffe’s back, prompting the actor to turn and immediately pull his old pal into a hug. By this point, the house lights were blinking overhead, pushing attendees into the theater, but Felton and Radcliffe still took a few moments to exchange words.\n<\/p>\n Afterward, the two actors posed together for photos. The meeting was reminiscent of the last time they publicly crossed paths<\/a> in 2018: that time too, Felton was attending an event to celebrate the work of his former costar in his Broadway production of The Lifespan of a Fact.\n<\/p>\n Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton on Dec. 1, 2025.<\/p>\n Bruce Glikas\/WireImage<\/p>\n Prior to that, the performers haven’t been photographed since attending the 2011 premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Since then, despite their onscreen rivalry, the duo have always spoken highly of each other. In fact, Felton recently made his Broadway debut \u2014 and his return to the Harry Potter franchise<\/a> \u2014 by reprising his role as Draco Malfoy in The Cursed Child.\n<\/p>\n During a November appearance on Good Morning America, he credited Radcliffe with inspiring him to make the leap into theater.\n<\/p>\n “I’ve taken a few tips from Potter. He was one of the early inspirations for me to come to Broadway,” Felton said at the time. “I saw him, I think, on his first show \u2014 what is it, 10-plus years ago? And now he\u2019s obviously a Tony winner and a big inspiration for the reason why Broadway is so special.”\n<\/p>\n Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy and Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter in ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’. A few weeks later, Radcliffe told the morning show<\/a> that he was thrilled to hear about Felton making his Broadway debut.\n<\/p>\n “It\u2019s crazy. Tom\u2019s older than me, he was always the cool kid growing up. It\u2019s crazy that he would think of me as an inspiration for anything,” he said upon hearing of Felton’s comments.\u00a0“That\u2019s so sweet. I\u2019m super excited that he\u2019s in this and he\u2019s doing Broadway and he\u2019s doing the show. It\u2019s really lovely. And I\u2019m excited that he\u2019s going to be in the city and I get to see him.”\n<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n Soon the former costars will be Broadway neighbors\u2026 give or take a few blocks.
