Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton delighted fans with a rare public reunion in New York City, marking their first photographed appearance together in more than a decade. The longtime friends and beloved Harry Potter actors met on December 1, 2025, during a special screening of Merrily We Roll Along, the filmed version of the acclaimed 2023 Stephen Sondheim revival in which Radcliffe stars. Their warm hug and joyful interaction reminded fans of their journey from childhood co-stars to respected performers on global stages.
Radcliffe, 36, and Felton, 38, first crossed paths while filming Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, beginning a friendship that grew despite their characters’ fierce on-screen rivalry. Over the years, both actors have spoken fondly of the bond they share, and their latest reunion instantly reignited nostalgia for millions of fans who grew up watching the Harry Potter films.
Felton, who is currently captivating Broadway audiences in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child as Draco Malfoy, recently reflected on Radcliffe’s influence on his own love for theater. He shared in a November appearance on Good Morning America that watching Radcliffe’s early Broadway work inspired him to pursue the stage more deeply. The play continues to draw massive crowds and recently celebrated a record-breaking Thanksgiving week with box office earnings surpassing $3 million.
Radcliffe expressed excitement about Felton’s ongoing success, noting how meaningful it felt to have his friend performing in the same city. While he has not yet caught Felton’s performance on Broadway, he shared his enthusiasm about reconnecting and supporting his fellow actor’s theatrical journey.
Looking ahead, Radcliffe is preparing for his own return to Broadway with Every Brilliant Thing, a one-person play centered on hope, healing, and emotional resilience. The production begins previews on February 21, 2026, at the Hudson Theatre, with opening night scheduled for March 12. Audiences worldwide can also watch Radcliffe in the upcoming film release of Merrily We Roll Along, arriving in theaters on December 5, 2025, featuring performances by Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez.
