Tom Felton will join ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ on Broadway as Draco Malfoy
He’s back. But this time, it’s not “He Who Shall Not be Named;” it’s Draco Malfoy—or more specifically, Tom Felton—who will reprise his iconic film role in “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” on Broadway for 19 weeks, from Nov. 11, 2025, through March 22, 2026.
Felton’s appearance onstage at New York’s Lyric Theatre marks the first time an actor from the “Harry Potter” movies has joined the stage production, which picks up 19 years after “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco are all sending their children to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry—and incidentally, at 37, Felton will be the exact age Draco is in the play.
“It’s surreal to be stepping back into his shoes—and of course his iconic platinum blond hair,” Felton told the BBC. “I am thrilled to be able to see his story through and to share it with the greatest fan community in the world.”
To announce his return to the role, Felton posted a video on Instagram in which he utters one of Draco’s most infamous lines: “Scared, Potter?”
About ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’
19 years after Harry Potter and his friends leave Hogwarts, his head-strong son Albus Potter befriends Scorpius Malfoy, the son of Harry’s Hogwarts nemesis. The unlikely friendship sparks a new magical journey, including the power to change the past and future forever.
Performed initially as two full-length shows where audiences could choose to attend morning and evening shows on the same day or choose to attend on two consecutive days, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” is now reimagined (and condensed) into one action- and magic-packed production featuring a “mind-blowing race through time, spectacular spells, and an epic battle, all brought to life with the most astonishing theatrical magic ever seen on a Broadway stage.”
Even the theater itself is part of the experience, with magical décor, hidden rooms, and immersive Harry Potter experiences, including opportunities to cast a Patronus, see pictures come alive, and witness an enchanted ceiling.
