The on-screen father-son duo rocks platinum blonde hair with Draco pulling his hair back in a ponytail. Both have their wands ready in their hands. "I love Draco and Scorpius - they actually look related!" J.K. Rowling says.

Price teases that scribe Jack Thorne takes "the story into a great place 19 years later, particularly for Draco." Meanwhile, Boyle says of his character, "He's wearing the official Hogwarts uniform before you go and get sorted into your house. He's a Malfoy so his clothes should be really expensive but quite constraining to make him feel a bit awkward."
