Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton, popular Harry Potter stars, reunited in New York City on Monday, December 1, 2025. They reunited at a special screening of Merrily We Roll Along, the filmed version of the 2023 Stephen Sondheim revival starring Radcliffe.
According to People, the actors shared a warm embrace and exchanged words as fans and attendees watched. They also posed for a photo together, their first public photo in more than a decade. Their last photo together was at the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in New York in July 2011.
From rivals to lifelong friends
Radcliffe, 36, and Felton, 38, first met while filming Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, which was released 24 years ago last month. Radcliffe played Harry Potter, while Felton played his school rival, Draco Malfoy. Despite their characters’ on-screen rivalry, the two have maintained a close friendship over the years.
Felton recently talked about how Radcliffe inspired him to learn about theater. During a November appearance on Good Morning America he said, “I saw him in his first Broadway show 10 years ago, and now he’s a Tony winner. He’s one of the reasons why Broadway feels so special to me.”
