Tom Felton Joins “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” as Draco Malfoy

Tom Felton will reprise his role of Draco Malfoy from the “Harry Potter” film series! Maybe not how you’d expect, though. Felton (“Rise of the Planet of the Apes“) will make his Broadway debut in the cast of the play, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.”

Following the main “Harry Potter” characters (Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco) as adults along with their children, the play is a continuation of the book series. And yes, time travel is involved.

“Being a part of the ‘Harry Potter’ films has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Felton said. “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.”

“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,” the show’s producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender said. “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.”

Felton will join the Broadway production starting November 11th. He’ll be with the company for 19 weeks, completing his run on March 22nd, 2026. You can get tickets and check out more about the show on their website here.
