It has been announced today 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 of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Felton will make his Broadway debut when he joins the company as Draco Malfoy from 11 November for a limited season until 22 March 2026 at New York City’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.
In a statement, Tom Felton said: “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.”
