Tom Felton to Reprise Role of Draco in ‘Harry Potter’ on Broadway

by

Actor Tom Felton, known for his portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movie series, is set to return to that role on Broadway.

Starting November 11, Felton will be part of the cast for “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” on Broadway, appearing until March 22, 2026, over a 19-week run. This play takes place 19 years after the original Harry Potter series concludes, with Draco now being a parent, joining forces with Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they send their own kids off to Hogwarts.

This performance on Broadway will be Felton’s initial stage appearance, and it represents the first instance where a Harry Potter movie cast member has become part of a stage adaptation.

Beyond his Harry Potter projects, Ralph Fiennes has recently graced screens in movies like “They Will Kill You” alongside Zazie Beetz and Patricia Arquette (produced by Skydance), and “Fackham Hall”, sharing the screen with Thomasin MacKenzie and Damian Lewis. He made his West End debut in 2022, taking on the lead role of Sam in “2:22 A Ghost Story”. In 2024, he played the main character Bob Edwards in Gareth Farr’s play “A Child of Science” at Bristol Old Vic.

It’s been an immense privilege for me to be involved in the Harry Potter movies. Reuniting with this production feels like completing a circle, as I’ll be the same age as Draco when I start playing him in ‘Cursed Child’ this fall. It’s almost unreal to slip back into his character – not just his signature platinum hair, but also delving deeper into his story. I can hardly wait to work with such a remarkable cast and become a part of the vibrant Broadway community, knowing that I’ll be sharing this incredible journey with the world’s most dedicated fanbase.” (Felton expressed)

The play titled “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” originated from a story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany. Jack Thorne wrote it, while John Tiffany directed it. Since its debut in April 2018 at Broadway’s Lyric Theatre, it has undergone revisions. Originally presented as two parts spanning over five hours, the play is now a single part that completes within three hours.
