In the Harry Potter films, the binary of 'good' and 'evil' is pretty well illustrated by Harry himself - played by Daniel Radcliffe - and his lifelong enemy Lord Voldemort (played by Ralph Fiennes after he regains his corporeal form in the fourth installment, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). However, Harry has plenty of minor villains to deal with along the wayand one is his school nemesis Draco Malfoy, portrayed in the eight films of Tom Felton's franchise. So, would Felton and Radcliffe work together again? According to Felton, they've talked about it a bit, but it would be a bit of a twist if the two ever team up for a different project.

In an interview with Digital spy in May 2022, Felton was asked about any possible reunions with any of his Harry Potter co-stars, and he said he would jump at the chance to work alongside Radcliffe in particular. "We're all talking about doing something again in different ways," Felton told the outlet. "Daniel and I have often joked about the idea that when we work together again, he'll be the villain and I'll be the hero."

That would definitely be a fun role reversal, but whether they two or not will it remains to be seen working together again. So what should you remember about Draco — and his dynamic with Harry — and what these two former child actors have been up to since the original Harry Potter films ended in 2011?

In case you've forgotten what kind of weasel Tom Felton played in the Harry Potter films, here's a refresher. Harry Potter first meets the rich, spoiled, pureblood wizard Draco Malfoy as the two put on their school robes in Diagon Alley; later, on the train heading to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Draco sucks Harry, realizing that the child he met in the tailor's shop is the famous "Boy Who Lived" (Harry is exceptionally famous in the wizarding world after Voldemort's destruction when Harry was just a small baby). Harry rejects Draco's brown nosing and sticks with his new friend Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), whom Draco vilifies for coming from a poorer pureblood family and being a born enemy.

Draco - usually just called 'Malfoy' by Harry, Ron and their brilliant Muggleborn best friend Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) - absolutely it stinksrelying on his wealthy father Lucius (Jason Isaacs) to get him out of any scrapes and constantly insulting Ron for being impoverished and Hermione for not being a pureblood (in fact, he's usually referred to by the wizarding insult "Badblood"). By the time the sixth film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, rolls around, Draco is in pretty bad shape, and his father can't help him; Now that Voldemort is fully back in power, Lucius is out with the Dark Lord (largely because he was sent to the wizarding prison Azkaban after the fifth film, Order of the Phoenix), so Voldemort decides that Draco must be the one to kill Albus Dumbledore, the kindly yet powerful headmaster of Hogwarts, possibly killing Draco in the process.

Draco doesn't have to kill Dumbledore himself - The deed is done for him by his "colleague" Death Eater and real double agent Severus Snape, played by the late Alan Rickman. - but it becomes abundantly clear that Draco may be a twerp, but he's not itching to become a killer. After Voldemort's defeat at the Battle of Hogwarts, the Malfoys fade into the background, choosing neither side as they stick together and escape the fray.

It would be really great to see Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton fully spin their Harry Potter dynamic, but it seems the bigger question at play is whether or not these two busy performers will be able to find the time. The same year "Harry Potter" ended, Felton appeared in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" as Dodge Landon, then moved on to smaller projects like 2012's "The Apparition" and 2013's historical drama "Belle." Felton continued to work steadily in film until he booked a fairly large role alongside Daisy Ridley in the 2018 Shakespeare adaptation Ophelia - he played Laertes - and his television roles include Julian Albert or Alchemy on The Flash and Logan Mayne on Origins.

Felton is pretty busy, but Radcliffe is even busier. The actor behind The Boy Who Lived has been working hard to break away from his Harry Potter image - he played a bold and difficult role that required full frontal nudity in the stage play Equus in both London and New York. during film franchise - and after its conclusion, he continued to take on challenging and daring projects. From the action comedy The Lost City to the television anthology series The Miracle Workers to the Weird Al Yankovic "biopic" simply titled Weird, Radcliffe has proven himself to be a wildly versatile actor—and in 2024 he won a Tony Award for his supporting role in the Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim's multigenerational masterpiece "Merrily Roll Together." Hopefully the two will find a minute and let Felton play the good guy and Radcliffe play the bad guy for once.

The Harry Potter films are broadcast on Peacock.
