Tom Felton Cursed Child news: The Harry Potter actor returns as Draco Malfoy in the Broadway version of the hit stage production.
Tom Felton, who played young Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movie franchise, is reprising the role as an adult in Broadway‘s Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Felton announced his joining the Broadway play on the Today show this morning. He is the first actor from the movie series to join the cast of the stage play, which opened in London in 2016 and New York in 2018. Felton will join the Broadway cast in November for a 19-week engagement.
“It’s very much a pinch-me situation,” Felton told Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin. “I keep thinking I’m dreaming. I let go of that character 16 years ago, and now I get to step back into his shoes, as a father this time, in a new story.”

“‘Potter’ was a massive chunk of my childhood, and now I get to sort of go back whilst also going forward,” Felton later told TODAY.com. “The play is such an independent story from the ‘Potter’ films that I grew up with. We start 19 years later … now we’re no longer children. We actually are the parents. So as much as it is reprising an old role for me, it’s very much treading into new, unfamiliar territory. I know him quite well as a kid. I don’t know him that well as an adult. So that’s the that’s the exciting challenge ahead for me.”
“It’s very, very easy to get emotional,” Felton said. “When they put my blond wig on for the theater production, I just immediately cried. It was just sort of like a blast from the past. … It was something that I never thought I’d see again.”
The Tom Felton Cursed Child era is set to star in the show from November 11, 2025, to March 22, 2026, at the Lyric Theatre in New York City. Fans can sign up for first access to tickets, which will unlock entry to a presale that begins on June 10 at 11:00 a.m. ET. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on June 12 at 11:00 a.m. ET.
