Tom Felton Enchants Hamburg: A Magical Anniversary Evening with Harry Potter Star Draco Malfoy

The excitement was immense when the 37-year-old Brit stepped onto the "purple carpet" in Hamburg for the first time. His presence made the celebrations for the theater's 10th anniversary a truly magical event. Felton revealed in conversation how much he loves Hamburg. He described it as one of his favorite cities in Europe, full of life, great people, and a unique culture. No wonder he took this special occasion to be here, especially since the theater has also hosted the German Harry Potter crew for four years.

A Slytherin in the German Land of Magic

Since 2021, the "Mehr! Theater am Großmarkt" has been the magical home of the German version of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." And Tom Felton experienced a premiere of a special kind here: He saw the play for the first time in another language. Although he has seen the story dozens of times in London, New York, and Los Angeles, he was visibly excited to see how well he could follow the German version. He emphasized how impressed he was by this theater, which definitely belongs to the most beautiful he has ever seen.

Will Draco Malfoy Return to Hamburg Soon?

Attention fans: Tom Felton will once again take on the role of the adult Draco Malfoy starting in November – on Broadway in the local version of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child"! When asked if he could imagine playing this role in Hamburg, he answered with a wink and lots of laughter: "Who knows, but my German would have to get significantly better for that!" So, a small spark of hope remains if Tom diligently learns German!

Magic Not Only on Stage

But the evening was not just about acting and anniversaries. Shortly before the big show, Tom Felton, together with theater director Marcel Neitzel, handed over a check for 25,000 euros to "Aktion Mensch." A gesture that wonderfully underscores the values of friendship, solidarity, and confidence that the play also conveys. Neitzel emphasized that magic begins where people stick together, and that's why they wanted to give something back on this special day.

Music Meets Magic

There was also prominent support from musician Max Giesinger. The 36-year-old has been the official cast sponsor of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" since this year. He raved about the Harry Potter universe and shared how he dreamed as a child of receiving an acceptance letter from Hogwarts himself. As a cast sponsor, he now wants to use his large platform to attract even more people to his new adopted home of Hamburg and to the magical play. An evening full of glamour, magic, and generous gestures that will go down in Hamburg's history books!
