The British Independent Film Awards — best known as the BIFAs — has set a date and host for its postponed 2020 ceremony, pushed back and shifted online due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The ceremony, which usually takes place in early December, is now set to take place on Feb. 18, with Tom Felton — best known for playing Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film franchise — on hosting duties.

The ceremony, being live-streamed on the BIFA Facebook page, will see Felton host live from Wales (where he’s currently filming the Sky original film Save the Cinema with Jonathan Pryce, Samantha Morton and Susan Wokoma), with winners announced during what organizers are describing as a “fun and freewheeling 45-minute program”. Alongside winner presentations, the show will feature live chats with jurors and famous film fans about this year’s crop of nominees.

“British film has been part of my life for as long as I can remember and now, more than ever, it is so important to support, recognize and celebrate those brilliant creatives who make them,” said Felton. “Film brings us all together and I’m delighted to be hosting this year’s British Independent Film Awards.”

Tom’s been doing a DracoTok Potter Challenge for the best Pottah voice. Jason Isaccs took part.

In a recent interview, Tom revealed that he is still pally with his Harry Potter co-stars and that he’s ‘planning some sort of digital celebration’ to mark the 19th anniversary of the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, on November 14th.

Discussing the reunion with Entertainment Tonight, he explained that they’ll be getting on board with the virtual meet ups that have taken over 2020.

He said: ‘It’s been nice because it’s the 19-year anniversary on November 14, so I’m planning some sort of digital celebration. I’m trying to wrangle all the oldies back together again to celebrate the achievement really.’

We are SO up for that.

Tom is challenging his fans to do their best impression of his performance in the “Harry Potter” film series. Felton’s character Draco Malfoy was best known for his sneering pronunciation of “Potter,” which usually phonetically sounded like “Pottah.” 

Felton’s TikTok goes on to show his own recent attempts at recreating the performance, but failing to nail the pronunciation. He then told fans to use the hashtags #PottahChallenge and #DracoTok to post their videos.
