The Daily Mail reported that Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the film series, will be involved in the upcoming Harry Potter show.

Regarding his participation, not much information has been revealed, but Tom Felton will reportedly have a "behind-the-scenes role" in the series’ production. An insider told the outlet that Warner Bros. hoped Felton could contribute to the show without appearing on screen.

The source added, "The producers want to keep the television series separate from the original movies." The source also revealed, "Everyone knows that Tom has Jo's blessing. While others turned their backs on her, he treated her with dignity even if he disagreed with her."

J.K. Rowling has faced significant criticism for her views on transgender issues. Among the cast members of the Harry Potter film installments, Felton continued to support the author while maintaining neutrality and refraining from engaging in the public discussion about her views, according to CBR.
