Tom Felton is set to reprise his role as Draco Malfoy in his Broadway debut.
Felton, who played Malfoy in all seven Harry Potter films, will be joining the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway starting Nov. 11, for a 19-week engagement through March 22, 2026.
The play is set 19 years after the end of the original Harry Potter series and sees Draco as a father as he alongside Harry, Ron and Hermione, send their children off to Hogwarts.
Speaking of joining the cast, Felton says “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.”
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – which has been running on Broadway at the Lyric Theatre since April 2018 – is based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, written by Thorne and directed by John Tiffany.
