Harry
Potter
actor
Tom
Felton
has
a
witchcraft
past
-
he
is
a
descendent
of
convicts
hanged
at
the
notorious
Salem
witch
trials
of
1692.
The
19-year-old
actor,
who
plays
Draco
Malfoy
in
the
hit
films,
has
had
his
family
history
scrutinised
by
American
researchers
studying
the
history
of

witches.
Expert
David
Nelson
says,
"I
have
discovered
concrete
proof
of
a
link
between
Tom
and
some
of
those
who
were
executed.
He
is
a
distant
relative
of
John
Proctor
-
who
was
