Tom Feltonknown for his role as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter series, recently attended a charity cricket match that brought together several beloved characters from the franchise. This event not only highlighted the ongoing camaraderie among the cast, but also served a greater purpose by supporting important medical charities. The reunion, full of nostalgia and friendly rivalry, showcased the lasting bonds that were formed during the years of filming.
On August 27, 2024, Tom Felton shared a moment on Instagram from a charity cricket match where he faced his Harry Potter co-star. Matthew Lewiswho played Neville Longbottom. The game, called David Holmes Cricket Cup, ended in a thrilling final with Lewis’ team, Gryffindorand won by just one run. Felton humorously referred to Lewis as “Bloody Longbottom” in his post, reviving the playful animosity between their characters from the films.
The event was not just a game, but a celebration of friendship and resilience. The cricket match was organised by David Holmes, a former stuntman who was tragically paralysed from the chest down in an accident on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. Since his injury, Holmes has been involved in raising money for charity and this annual event has become an important opportunity for the Harry Potter family to come together and support a good cause.
Holmes’ journey after his accident has been both inspiring and heartbreaking. In an emotional video he shared on Instagram, he looked back on the 15 years since the first charity match, saying: “Over those 15 years, friends and family have come together in honour of me, which is incredible and has raised money for charity over the years, probably hundreds of thousands of pounds.” He also noted that Team Gryffindor now leads the match series with an 8-7 record following their recent win.
In November 2023 Daniel Radcliffe teamed up with David Holmes to create the HBO documentary The Boy Who Lived. The title references a famous line from Harry Potter while also chronicling Holmes’ survival after a tragic accident on set. This year’s cricket charity match raised funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, where Holmes has been an ambassador since 2013, with Felton supporting the children’s charity since 2015.
