Is this just a joke, or a hint at his return to the magical universe? In any case, some media outlets took this statement literally and concluded that Felton would indeed be involved in the series. But in reality, Warner Bros. has not yet confirmed his role in the production, and the actor has not confirmed whether he will actually make a cameo appearance. the screen.
Behind-the-scenes involvement?

Felton has also shown on several occasions that he remains close to his former teammates. During the same visit to the Harry Potter store in Chicago, he revealed that the original film crew remains in contact via a WhatsApp group. These connections and his passion for the world of J.K. Rowling could indeed make him a valuable asset for the series' producers.
A nod that could please fans

Indeed, since her controversial stance on transgender issues, many actors and actresses from the saga have publicly distanced themselves from her. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, to name a few, have distanced themselves from Rowling. Tom Felton, on the other hand, has always maintained a more nuanced position.
He stated in an interview that he respected J.K. Rowling for bringing "so much joy to entire generations" thanks to his books. Indeed, he chose not to enter into the controversy. His neutrality on the subject could undoubtedly facilitate his possible return to the Harry Potter universe.
It should be noted that the HBO Harry Potter series has only just begun filming. The casting of the new characters is expected to be completely renewed, with different actors from those who played the iconic roles in the films.
In any case, the possibility Tom Felton making a cameo, even a small one, in the series would be a welcome nod to fans. In addition, many fans are hoping he can return to the series.
