Even though we saw the last Harry Potter movie 13 years ago, the discussions regarding the franchise’s characters and the actors who portrayed them aren’t going to subside in a while. The same is with the first movies’ antagonist, fierce and arrogant Draco Malfoy, who was convincingly played by Tom Felton, the fandom’s favorite blondie.
It can seem that the actor now stays out of the spotlight or is out of acting at all, however, he isn’t. Indeed, after his Hp success Felton took smaller roles in a number of lesser-known projects, but that doesn’t mean they’re not worth a try.
The same year when The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 was released, the Draco actor appeared in Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), which gained a lot of hype at the time. The role of Dodge Landon marked a far cry from the role of Harry Potter’s rival.

According to TVLine, the CW’s hit superhero drama The Flash has recruited Harry Potter star Tom Felton to join Season 3 in a series regular role.
Felton will play Julian Dorn, a fellow CSI at the Central City Police Department who suspects there’s more to Barry Allen than just his good guy reputation. The site also says that Felton is expected to make his Flash debut in the early installments during Season 3.
Season 3 of The Flash is taking on the DC Comics’ famous Flashpoint storyline, and as to how Felton will figure into the plot is yet unknown.
Felton is best known for portraying the notorious sorcerer Draco Malfoy in all eight Harry Potter films. Other film credits include Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, The Apparition, In Secret, Belle, Against The Sun and Risen.
