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.
