The reel sees the actor lip-syncing Harry Potter and Ron Weasley’s parts. He captioned the reel, “1st Sept at 10:30 amBST I’m going Back to Hogwarts for #20yearsofmoviemagic”

While speaking about 20 years of the first film of the Harry Potter franchise, Tom Felton said he could not believe it had been so long. He also spoke about how a lot of the film’s fans were not even born when the first film was made and this means the film is ‘being handed down from generation to another.' He also spoke about the overwhelming experience of getting fan mail way back in 2001, when the first film was released. Tom Felton was also asked if he related to Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series and his first response was, “Not at all, but it was a fun character to play”.
