It was announced that Tom Felton, who for over a decade played the role of Harry Potter’s arch-nemesis “Draco Malfoy” in all eight Harry Potter blockbuster films, will join the Broadway production Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. He returns to the iconic character this fall for the first time in almost 15 years.
Mr. Felton will make his Broadway debut when he joins the company as Draco Malfoy beginning Tuesday, November 11, 2025 for a limited 19-week engagement through March 22, 2026, only at Broadway’s Lyric Theatre.
This will be the first time a member of the original Harry Potter film cast has joined the stage production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which tells a new story that takes place 19 years after the end of the original series. Draco, now a father, along with Harry, Ron and Hermione are all grown up and sending their own children off to Hogwarts.
“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,” shared Tom Felton.
Tom Felton’s recent work includes the films They Will Kill You, alongside Zazie Beetz and Patricia Arquette for Skydance, and Fackham Hall, with Thomasin MacKenzie and Damian Lewis (directed by Jim O’Hanlon). He made his West End debut in 2022, starring in the lead role of Sam in 2:22 A Ghost Story to rave reviews, and in 2024 played the lead role of Bob Edwards in Gareth Farr’s play A Child of Science at Bristol Old Vic, directed by Matthew Dunster.
