'The Flash' Season 3 Spoilers, News And Updates: 'Harry Potter's' Draco Malfoy To Join Cast As Julian Dorn

"The Flash" Season 3 is taking "Harry Potter's" Tom Felton to the scene. That's right. The hit TV series recently announced that the blond heartthrob, also known as Draco Malfoy will be joining the cast this season.

According to reports, Tom Felton will be playing the role of Julian Dorn, a CSI tech who shares the same laboratory with Barry Allen in "The Flash" Season 3. Closely similar to his character in the "Harry Potter" franchise as Draco Malfoy, Tom Felton's character in the series is described as "prickly."

"The Flash" showrunner Todd Helbing revealed that Julian is going to be a "rival" of sorts for Barry Allen. "He's a direct result of Flashpoint," Helbing says. "Barry's had that lab to himself, but now he's got to share it with this guy, who doesn't really like him and is kind of prickly."

With Tom Felton joining the cast of "The Flash" Season 3, many fans wonder how the show will handle "Harry Potter" jokes and references. Being known to be a show rich with pop culture cross references, it is expected that "Harry Potter" will be no exception.

In an interview, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg revealed that the said cross references is possible especially with Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) around.

"Tom Felton is portraying a character on our show - he's not portraying Tom Felton," the executive producer said. "Cisco will continue to make pop culture references. We're, generally speaking, not afraid to have a little bit of a meta-moment."

And Tom Felton seems to be riding along with the fun as the actor even hopes that his character, Julian will be the first to make a "Harry Potter" joke in "The Flash" Season 3. "I'm so excited for the references," Felton says. "I don't doubt the talent and creativity of the writers. I've got a feeling they'll come up with some real good ones. I hadn't thought about me saying it - I assumed it would come at me from Cisco - but maybe I should give it to Cisco. Maybe he should misquote something and I could correct him."
