Tom Felton tears up watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

From Cosmopolitan

Tom Felton welling up while watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 20 years later will make any Hogwarts fan's day.

You only have to look at our Christmas present list to know we're still hardcore Harry Potter obsessed. We've seen all the films (obviously), looked into the plot holes, and have enough merch to fill Gringotts.

And it seems like Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy, gets just as emotional when he thinks back to the magical world of Hogwarts. The actor hosted a short watchalong Instagram Live video, where he invited fans to watch the first 11 minutes and 11 seconds of the first Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, with him.

Felton was very excited about his film night, mispronouning the names of his co-stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson while introducing the movie, before
joking about the "large man with a beard" (Albus Dumbledore) and "the cat" (Minerva McGonagall).

Tearing up at the scene where Harry Potter is left on the Dursleys' doorstep (spoiler alert), Tom said, "I have literally not seen this for probably 20 years. Look at him! Good lord! His voice – he's so sweet! He's like 5 years old."

The actor, now 33, added, "I'm just tearing up rather than giving you commentary but it will get better. I think the best is yet to come in these movies! We're definitely going to try this again."

Tom is all over the Harry Potter content at the moment: he recently hosted a reunion with Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe and How to Get Away With Murder star Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas) to celebrate the film turning 19.

We are a SUCKER for the extra Hogwarts content.
