Tom Felton has undergone an incredible transformation for his role in the fantasy film A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting.

The actor is best known as Draco Malfoy, Hogwarts’s resident villain in the Harry Potter franchise.

In the first look at the actor’s new Netflix movie, Felton has shed his white-blonde hair and famous side parting for a more edgy and sinister appearance.

The forthcoming family movie is based on a children’s book of the same name by Joe Ballarini.

Its story focuses on a babysitter (played by Tamara Smart) who attempts a rescue mission when the child under her care is kidnapped by the Bogeyman (played by Felton).
