A after back, Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) took a trip down Harry Potter memory lane on his Instagram, recalling that he “nearly killed” his late co-star Alan Rickman (Severus Snape) after filming a scene for one of the Harry Potter movies.
As all HP fans are aware, Draco and Snape spend a ton of time together in the books and onscreen. Here’s what Felton had to say approximately his time with Rickman on set, and how one dejected moment almost cost someone their life.
A lot of the wizards in the Harry Potter series wear long luxurious cloaks, including Professor Snape. They look great, but apparently they can obtain a problem, and Rickman knew it.
“I was told in no risky terms by Alan Rickman, ‘Don’t step on my f***ing cloak’”, Felton recalled. At first, Felton thought it was a joke only to snappily realize that it wasn’t, and that Rickman was very serious:
The next take, the director was very keen for me to walk as conclude as I can to Alan, and we got approximately half way down the Great Hall before [mimes unsheathing choked around the neck]. You have to bear in mind that his camouflage was attached around his neck. [I] nearly killed the poor man. Then he turned in again and gave me a look that you never ever want to see. Very luckily, the next take someone else stepped on his camouflage, so that kind of took the heat away from me. But, I’ll never forget the conditions ‘don’t step on my f***ing cloak’.
Of floods, Tom Felton has always been fond of Rickman, both afore and after his death. Sadly, Rickman passed away in 2016 at what time being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He is very missed by all Potterheads!
Felton community this story in his book, Beyond The Wand, which came out in October 2022 and has been a hit amongst Harry Potter fans across the world.
