Jason Isaacs Has His Say On Tom Felton's Return To Harry Potter Franchise

Former Harry Potter stars Jason Isaacs and Tom FeltonJason Isaacs has shown his support for his former on-screen son Tom Felton, after he announced his controversial decision to return to the Harry Potter franchise.On Sunday evening, the White Lotus actor sent Tom some words of encouragement following the announcement he’d be reprising the role of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter play The Cursed Child on Broadway.The news was met with a muted response due to the ongoing controversy surrounding the franchise’s creator JK Rowling, who has become a divisive figure as a result of her ongoing comments about the trans community (which has included repeatedly and deliberately misgendering prolific transgender public figures and making a hefty donation to a campaign that resulted in the UK Supreme Court’s divisive ruling that the legal definition of a woman now only constitutes those assigned female at birth).At Sunday night’s Tonys, Tom made headlines when he defended his decision to appear in the Harry Potter play, after which Jason told him on X: “Saw you presenting on the Tonys tonight son - you looked good, sounded good and did great.”Saw you presenting on the Tonys tonight son - you looked good, sounded good and did great. Tickets booked for November x https://t.co/oOplhgJn1g— Jason Isaacs (@jasonsfolly) June 9, 2025Jason added that he already had “tickets booked” to see Tom in action in November.Following this, Jason also sent another message about the actor Johnny Flynn’s casting as Lucius Malfoy – the character he originated in the Harry Potter movies – in the upcoming TV adaptation of the popular children’s books.Describing Johnny as a “fantastic actor”, “lovely man” and “irritatingly, a rather brilliant musician too”, Jason said he “couldn’t have handed the snake-topped baton on to anyone better”.A fantastic actor, a lovely man and, irritatingly, a rather brilliant musician too. Couldn’t have handed the snake-topped baton on to anyone better. Just please don’t make him sing…#HarryPotter#JohnnyFlynn#KillTheElfEarlyhttps://t.co/SOERv7Jmqq— Jason Isaacs (@jasonsfolly) June 9, 2025Back in 2022, Jason told The Telegraph of JK Rowling: “There’s a bunch of stuff about Jo. You know, I play complicated people, I’m interested in complicated people.“I don’t want to get drawn into the trans issues, talking about them, because it’s such an extraordinary minefield. She has her opinions, I have mine. They differ in many different areas.”“For all that she has said some very controversial things, I was not going to be jumping to stab her in the front – or back – without a conversation with her, which I’ve not managed to have yet,” he added.READ MORE:Tom Felton Shrugs Off JK Rowling Controversy After Announcing Harry Potter ReturnNick Frost Addresses Controversy Over JK Rowling's Views After Joining Harry Potter TV SeriesPaapa Essiedu Raises Eyebrows By Calling For Trans Support After Joining Harry Potter Series
