Blake Lively is living every Harry Potter fan’s dream. The actress recently shared that she met Tom Felton after watching him perform Draco Malfoy live, and the experience was exactly as magical as fans would imagine.
Blake said Tom Felton is every bit as kind and gracious as people hope he would be. For millions who grew up watching him as Draco, seeing him onstage feels surreal enough, but Blake admitted that experiencing it in person took it to another level. She said seeing him bring Draco to life in front of a live audience felt special in a way she didn’t expect.
After the show, she met Tom and was quick to share how warm and genuine he was. Blake praised his kindness and the ease with which he connects with people, something fans have often noted from his appearances and interactions online.
Her reaction has already made Potter fans emotional, especially those who grew up with the films and still hold a soft spot for Draco Malfoy. The combination of nostalgia, admiration and the unexpected crossover of two massive fandoms made Blake’s comments instantly go viral.
For fans, it is also a sweet reminder that behind one of the most iconic on-screen antagonists is an actor who is nothing like his character. Blake saying it all felt surreal only strengthens the love people still carry for the world of Harry Potter and the cast that shaped it.
