You don’t know what he’s capable of, or maybe you do because you’ve seen this film before.
Tom Felton, known for his role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, is making a return to the Wizarding World by stepping into the same character on stage in his Broadway debut with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. “Taking part in this production feels like a full-circle moment for me,” Felton told the New York Times. “
When I start performing in ‘Cursed Child’ this fall, I’ll be the exact age Draco is in the story. It’s incredible to slip back into his shoes — and of course, his signature platinum blond hair — and I’m excited to complete his journey and share it with the world’s most passionate fans.” He will perform from November 22, 2025, through March 22, 2026.
Felton is the first actor from the original movie cast to reprise his role on stage, matching his character’s age in the play.
Cursed Child centers on Harry Potter’s younger son, Albus Severus Potter, as he embarks on his own Hogwarts adventure while facing the challenge of living up to his father’s legacy.
Seeing Tom Felton return as Draco Malfoy after all these years brings a special magic to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It’s not just a nostalgic nod for longtime fans but also a fresh way to explore the complexities of a beloved character at a pivotal age.
This casting adds a layer of authenticity and excitement that’s sure to enchant both new audiences and dedicated followers of the Wizarding World.
