Tom Felton Lights Up the Empire State Building to Celebrate Return to Draco Malfoy

Posted on by

Yesterday, Tom Felton lit up the Empire State Building to celebrate his Broadway debut in “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”.

On Oct. 27, the Empire State Building shined its world-famous tower lights in the four Harry Potter house colors for ten minutes of the evening, and then switched to green, to celebrate Tom Felton’s Broadway debut and return to his role of Draco Malfoy in “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.”

That day, the Empire State Building hosted a lighting ceremony with actor Tom Felton, who flipped the famous light switch.  

After the ceremony, Tom toured the Observatory Experience – which was named the #1 Top Attraction in New York City for the fourth consecutive year in Tripadvisor’s 2025 Travelers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Things to Do – and posed for photos on the building’s 86th and 102nd Floor Observatories.

Tom Felton attends grand opening of Tokyo’s new Harry Potter store

To celebrate the grand opening of Japan’s first flagship “Harry Potter Shop” in Harajuku, actor Tom Felton made a surprise visit to Japan.

At an opening ceremony held today, Tom was joined by Sō Matsushima of the pop group Timelesz, who is a well-known and outspoken fan of the Draco Malfoy character.

The two shared an emotional reunion, with Matsushima revealing that he had once waited in line for six hours to get Tom’s autograph nine years ago, a moment that he said was a “precious magic” that supported him through his own career.

Tom praised Matsushima’s Slytherin-themed fashion and, in a surprise of his own, presented him with a custom-made Slytherin T-shirt, before the two shared a celebratory toast with Butterbeer.
