They also had a run-in with Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) and Professor Flitwick (Warwick Davis). But this time, the group of would-be mortal enemies appeared to be on the same side, suggesting that even die-hard Death Eaters can change their spots (or serpentine scales, as the case would be). The reunion was a result of the fourth annual _Harry Potter_ celebration at Universal Orlando, where the actors all contributed to a panel discussion. In an Instagram caption, the actor behind the series’ most recognizable and conniving Death Eater made a point to relate the evils of _Harry Potter_‘s world to that of our own in the present day. “\[The visit was\] a welcome escape from the horrors of the world until we answered questions on stage and were reminded what the stories were all about: fighting fascism, embracing diversity, and never giving up hope,” he commented on a photo of him and Felton at the [Wizarding World theme park](http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1637886%5F2081965,00.html?iid=sr-link3 "undefined"). (This is also [not their first reunion](https://www.instagram.com/p/BE6ZvizuNdk/?taken-by=therealjasonisaacs "undefined"), proving that some fake father-son bonds are meant to last.) Looks like time heals all wounds, as Felton even shared some love for his once enemy Lewis. > [](https://twitter.com/jasonsfolly/status/826209637322088448) And finally, author J.K. Rowling herself gave the reunion her seal of approval: > [](https://twitter.com/jk%5Frowling/status/826211305249968130) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4655352/malfoy-reunion/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4655352/malfoy-reunion/"},"headline":"Harry Potter Reunion Brings the Malfoys Together for Death Eater Reflections","datePublished":"2017-01-31T20:07:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:40:39.444Z","description":"Actors Tom Felton and Jason Isaacs may have left their Slytherin ways behind","url":"https://time.com/4655352/malfoy-reunion/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","movies","celebrities","Harry Potter"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4655352/malfoy-reunion/","name":"Harry Potter Reunion Brings the Malfoys Together for Death Eater Reflections"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"How To Make Your Favorite Harry Potter Treats: Pumpkin Pasties","description":"Excited for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?
