Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, will reprise the role on Broadway.
Felton will join the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway starting Nov. 11, for a 19-week engagement through March 22, 2026. The play is set 19 years after the end of the original Harry Potter series, and sees Draco as a father, alongside Harry, Ron and Hermione, who are all sending their children off to Hogwarts.
This will mark Felton’s Broadway debut and the first time a member of the Harry Potter film cast has joined the stage production.
In addition to his work on Harry Potter, Felton has recently appeared in the films They Will Kill You, alongside Zazie Beetz and Patricia Arquette for Skydance, and Fackham Hall, with Thomasin MacKenzie and Damian Lewis. He made his West End debut in 2022, starring in the lead role of Sam in 2:22 A Ghost Story and in 2024 played the lead role of Bob Edwards in Gareth Farr’s play A Child of Science at Bristol Old Vic.
“Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honours 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,” Felton said.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, written by Thorne and directed by John Tiffany. The production has been running on Broadway at the Lyric Theatre since April 2018. Since its opening, the play, which was once in two parts and running more than five hours, has been revised and now is one part that runs under three hours.
