'Harry Potter' alum Tom Felton joins cast of 'The Flash'

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 1 (UPI) -- Harry Potter alum Tom Felton is moving from Hogwarts to Central City as he takes on a regular role in Season 3 of The CW's hit The Flash.

Felton joins the cast as character Julian Dorn, a crime scene investigator at the Central City Police Department, who thinks there's more to Barry "The Flash" Allen than meets the eye.

Not much is known about Dorn since he's not a DC Comics character, though it's suspected that he will be crucial to the show's alternate reality Flashpoint story line.

Felton starred in all eight Harry Potter films as sneering bully Draco Malfoy, and in the first season of TNT's Murder in the First. He also had roles in Labyrinth and Full Circle.

New episodes of The Flash premiere on Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. on The CW.
