The return of Potter fans’ favorite blonde troublemaker.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a West End theatrical production, has been confirmed to see the return of Slytherin House’s poster child: Draco Malfoy.
Playwright (and author of the book series) J.K. Rowling tweeted a picture showing off what looks to be the drawings of some familiar character’s wands. The designs, though conceptual, seem to be much more detailed and personal than we saw in the films. Perhaps these unique wands will be used as a plot device?

Details as to Draco’s involvement in the story are scarce. It would be safe to assume, however, that his son Scorpio will have a big part to play in the story. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will follow Albus Severus’ (Harry’s youngest son) first year at Hogwarts. Both Albus and Scorpio are confirmed to have attended Hogwarts at the same time in the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The play hits the stage this summer along with a novelized version of the story. The Cursed Child will dive into the lives of an adult Harry and the gang as they team up with a new generation of wizards in order to save the world from a malignant force.

If you don’t plan on going to London anytime soon, you can pick up the novelization on July 31!
