The magical world of  Harry Potter is incomplete without his nemesis Draco Malfoy. In the immortal words of Spock, it is only logical when the story picks up 19 years later after the incident of Harry Potter and Deathly Hollows, the Malfoys be a past of it.

After giving the first glimpse of the Potters and Granger-Weasley family, the creators of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child have unveiled the look of Draco and his son Scorpius Malfoy. Alex Price and Anthony Boyle play the roles respectively.

Price has appeared on shows like Merlin, Penny Dreadful, and Doctor Who. Therefore, magical realm is not new for the actor.

For him, script gave him all that was needed to transform into Draco. "Jack Thorne's script. Start right there. And there's obviously a massive history of books to draw on. You could tie yourself in knots worrying about it. But our first job is to serve this play and JK Rowling's characters as best we can," he told Pottermore.

About the casting of the Malfoy father and son, JK Rowling says, "I love Draco and Scorpius – they actually look related!"

The reason is that brunette in real life, Anthony Boyle had to go blond to play Scorpius Malfoy. "It was such a game changer. As soon as I saw it, it was like, 'Okay, I’m playing Scorpius Malfoy – this is real now.' That was such a big moment," Boyle told Pottermore.

Boyle's Scorpius will be a hit with the ladies at Hogwarts. Or so thinks JK Rowling. "I've got a feeling Scorpius is going to do nothing to turn girls off the Malfoy men."

Audience shall be the judge of it when the play opens for initial preview on June 7 at Palace Theatre in London.
