As a die-hard Harry Potter fan last week, I was thrilled to hear some electrifying updates! On Thursday, it was officially announced that the man behind Draco Malfoy in the films, Tom Felton, will once again bring his magic to life – this time on Broadway for the show “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.” This epic run kicks off on November 11 and continues until March 22, 2026, spanning a jaw-dropping 19 weeks! Can’t wait to see it!
On Sunday, Felton presented at the Tony Awards and Isaacs responded to express his intention to watch Felton’s film on Broadway in November. “I saw you presenting at the Tonys tonight son – you looked good, sounded good and did great,” Isaacs wrote. “Tickets have been reserved for November x.
Before the broadcast of the award show, Felton discussed with The Hollywood Reporter his enthusiasm about returning to play Draco Malfoy, as in this production, Draco is a father and shares the same age as Felton. “Now, it’s not just reprising the role, but also creating a new one because he’s a father,” Felton explained. “He doesn’t want to repeat the mistakes that Lucius made with Draco. So, it’s a familiar character, but it’s also entirely fresh and unique, which I’m really looking forward to.
During the Tony Awards, Tom Felton shares insights on how his portrayal of ‘Draco Malfoy’ might differ from his character as seen in the movies.
