Tom Felton has reacted to his old on-screen Harry Potter rival Daniel Radcliffe – and he insists “it’s all love” between them.
It comes just ahead of the highly-anticipated Harry Potter cast reunion special – Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts – which will air on New Year’s Day.
Tom played mean Slytherin student Draco Malfoy in the beloved Harry Potter films – whereas Daniel played Gryffindor hero Harry.
Draco was Harry’s arch-nemesis at Hogwarts, and the pair would often clash in the magical movies – trading verbal insults and even dueling each other with violent consequences.
However, despite their fierce rivalry on the screen, Tom and Daniel became great friends on set.

Taking to Instagram, Hollywood star Tom shared an old behind the scenes clip of him and Daniel talking about their special bond on the Potter set.
In the 2006 clip, Tom was seen standing next to Dan in his Slytherin robes with “We’re not really enemies, we love each-other really.”
Daniel then said:” Me and Tom get on really well in real life. In the film, they really hate each-other.”
Tom seemed excited about the upcoming Harry Potter cast reunion, because he captioned the post – “it’s all love who’s ready to #ReturnToHogwarts this Saturday?”.

“Daniel and I talk about one day I’ll get to be the good guy and he gets to play the villain. So yeah, you never know. They’ll bring us all back for a proper reunion one day.”
Back in 2018, Felton showed his support for Daniel when Daniel was starring in a Broadway play called The Lifespan of A Fact.
He shared a sweet snap of them together and urged his fans to go and watch Dan in the play as he’s “fantastic”.
