Daniel Radcliffe’s Arch Nemesis in Harry Potter Let His Feelings About the Actor Known After Their Retirement From $9.5 Billion Franchise
We all grew up watching the Harry Potter films and got swept away in Hogwarts’ magical world. The name Daniel Radcliffe has come to be associated with the Harry Potter franchise itself. Radcliffe brought the character of Harry Potter to life, and now we can’t picture anyone else in the part.
Daniel Radcliffe rose to fame at a very young age. When Radcliffe was chosen to play Harry Potter, he was just 11 years old. Since he played the lead character in each of the eight films in the series, he basically grew up on the Harry Potter sets and as a result, he formed strong connections with his co-stars. One of his co-stars, who played Daniel Radcliffe’s on-screen nemesis, expressed his feelings about the actor.
Are the on-screen enemies also real-life rivals?
Draco Malfoy was portrayed by Tom Felton in the popular Harry Potter series. Malfoy was Potter’s arch-nemesis and the cause of most of his troubles. Because of his devious actions toward the main character, Malfoy was not much liked by the Potter fans.

Fans though loved the on-screen rivalry between Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter, but many were unaware of the close friendship Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton shared in real life.
Tom Felton expresses his feelings regarding Daniel Radcliffe.
In a recent interview, actor Tom Felton said that Daniel Radcliffe, his co-star in the Harry Potter franchise, is like a “brother” to him in real life. He took the chance to think back on their real-life friendship and the details of their working relationship on set when Felton’s memoir, Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard, hit the bookstores. He continued by saying that he has nothing but the highest regard for his co-star and that he simply does not have the chance to see him as much as he would have liked to.
Tom Felton continued by noting Daniel Radcliffe’s extraordinary presence on set and the energy and excitement he brought to every setting. Felton added, “But it was important to me, looking back, how important his enthusiasm and his eventual professionalism runs down the ranks if you will.”
Felton further claimed that Radcliffe’s commitment and professionalism were very contagious, and that contributed to a pleasant and productive environment on set.“He could’ve very easily coasted a lot of those years.” Felton added that, while working with Radcliffe on-site, it felt like he was constantly willing to contribute as much as possible and was always collaborative.
It is extremely comforting to learn that the actors who on-screen portrayed rivals actually have such a strong and admirable friendship.
