Tom Felton Returns as Draco Malfoy in Broadway’s HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD

Here’s a cool piece of news for Harry Potter fans! Tom Felton is heading back to the Wizarding World! The actor is best known for playing Draco Malfoy in all eight Harry Potter films, and will officially reprise his role in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway starting November 11, 2025.

He’ll be part of the production for 19 weeks, through March 22, 2026. Not only is this Felton’s Broadway debut, but it also marks the first time an original cast member from the films has stepped into the Cursed Child stage story.

Felton shared: “Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me, because when I begin performances in Cursed Child this fall, I’ll also 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 – and I am thrilled to be able to see his story through and to share it with the greatest fan community in the world. I look forward to joining this incredible company and being a part of the Broadway community.”

Set 19 years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Cursed Child focuses on the next generation, specifically the children of Harry, Ron, Hermione, and yes, Draco, as they begin their own journeys at Hogwarts. Felton will now embody a version of Draco that fans never saw in the films. One that is older, more reflective, and navigating the uneasy weight of legacy.

The show’s producers, Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, called the moment “powerful on many levels.”

“As fans of the wizarding world ourselves, we feel incredibly fortunate to welcome Tom into our Cursed Child family on Broadway and to offer ‘Harry Potter’ fans around the globe the once-in-a-lifetime excitement of seeing him reprise this iconic role, this time on-stage in New York City.

“This moment is powerful on many levels—Tom will be making his Broadway debut and is marking a full-circle moment for not just himself, but for Draco too. He gets to inhabit Draco once more, but this time as an adult facing the relatable challenges of parenthood and the complicated meaning of legacy.”

Since opening at the Lyric Theatre in 2018, the Broadway production of The Cursed Child has evolved from a two-part epic to a single, streamlined 3.5-hour experience. The show remains one of Broadway’s most technically dazzling and narratively rich productions, blending old lore with new emotional stakes.

For fans of the franchise, seeing Felton return to the role, especially in such a personal, time-jumping context, offers a rare kind of magic.
