Draco related to real witches, sort of
Reports are circulating through the British tabloids that the actor who plays Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter's nemesis and rival, is related to witches. The Salem witches of Massachusetts to be exact.
Tom Felton, who plays the treacherous and vile Draco Malfoy, is descended from alleged witches who were hanged during the Salem witch trials of 1692.
According to The Sun Web site:
Researcher David Nelson said: “I have discovered concrete proof of a link between Tom and some of those who were executed.
“He is a distant relative of John Proctor — who was hanged on August 19, 1692. I have informed Tom’s manager about witches in his family tree.” Mr Nelson, of Salt Lake City, US, has been probing the Salem witches’ history for four years.
He found the teen star is also related to seven others involved in the most infamous witch hunt in history — which was the subject of Arthur Miller’s celebrated play The Crucible.
Another distant relative of his is Lt Nathaniel Felton, who was a defence witness in the trial sparked by two young girls suffering fits and mysterious illnesses in Salem, Massachusetts.
