Tom Felton will return to the stage as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway, marking his debut on the Great White Way.
Felton will begin performances on November 11, 2025, for a 19-week engagement, running through March 22, 2026. This will be the first time a cast member from the original Harry Potter film series has joined the Broadway production of the play.
Set 19 years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Cursed Child follows the now-adult characters, including Draco Malfoy, as they navigate the challenges of parenthood while sending their children off to Hogwarts. Felton, who portrayed the infamous Slytherin in the Harry Potter films, shared his excitement about returning to the role, saying it will be a “full-circle moment” for him. At the age of Draco’s character in the play, Felton feels a special connection to the role and expressed enthusiasm about reuniting with the "greatest fan community" in the world.
The production, which originally opened at the Lyric Theatre in 2018, was modified after the pandemic. The Broadway version was condensed into a single, 3.5-hour show, compared to its original two-part format.
Producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender highlighted the significance of Felton’s return to the role, noting that his portrayal of Draco as an adult facing parenthood and legacy will bring fresh depth to the character. “We feel incredibly fortunate to welcome Tom into our Cursed Child family,” said the producers, emphasizing the excitement of fans worldwide to see Felton back as the iconic Malfoy.
This marks a milestone for both Felton’s career and the ongoing success of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway.
