In the final installment of preview portraits by Charlie Gray for "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" — the new play that follows up with the characters 19 years after the defeat of Lord Voldemort  Draco Malfoy and his son Scorpius have been revealed. 

Alex Price will take the stage as Draco Malfoy, Harry, Ron, and Hermione's former classmate and son of Death Eater Lucius Malfoy. In the new portraits, Price is sporting those signature white-blonde locks, slicked back just like his movie counterpart always wore it.

Price has a background in film and theater. "Our first job is to serve this play and J.K. Rowling’s characters as best we can," he told "Harry Potter" fan website Pottermore.

J.K. Rowling has made her support for the casting clear so far, and the choices for Malfoy and Scorpius are no exception. "I love Draco and Scorpius – they actually look related!" she told Pottermore.

Scorpius Malfoy will be played by Anthony Boyle, who also had his hair dyed blonde to look the part. He told Pottermore that the hair color really made the reality of the play set in for him.

"As soon as I saw [my new blonde hair], it was like, 'Okay, I’m playing Scorpius Malfoy — this is real now,'" he said. "That was such a big moment."

The play premiers in London on June 7, and the book is set to be released on Harry's birthday, July 31.
