by

Actor Tom Felton, known for his memorable portrayal of Harry Potter‘s adversary Draco Malfoy, is set to reprise his iconic character. Recently, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the upcoming Harry Potter series on HBO, featuring fresh faces taking on roles like Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. The original Harry Potter movies were blockbusters, with Felton playing Draco Malfoy across eight films. Although it’s unclear who will play Draco in the upcoming TV series, Felton himself will return to the role, but this time on Broadway.

The upcoming Broadway show titled “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” has announced that Tom Felton will portray Draco Malfoy. Visit HarryPotterThePlay.com for details on the performance dates, with Felton appearing between November 11th, 2025, and March 22, 2026, at New York City’s Lyric Theatre. In this new story set 19 years after the original series, we find Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger as adults, sending their own children to Hogwarts Academy. Tom Felton will be the first original actor from the “Harry Potter” films to appear in this Broadway production.

Tom Felton expressed that being part of the Harry Potter films was one of the most significant honors of his life. He’s excited because rejoining the production feels like coming full circle, as he’ll be the same age Draco is in the play when he starts performing in Cursed Child this fall. It’s hard to believe he’s putting on Draco’s shoes (and that iconic platinum blond hair) again, and he can’t wait to share Draco’s story with the world’s best fan community. He’s eager to be a part of the Broadway community and this amazing company.

Enthusiasts have the opportunity to register for early bird ticket sales, as they’re likely to sell out fast. Regular ticket sales will be open to everyone starting June 12th, at 11 a.m. Eastern Time.

Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series, recently spoke about HBO’s upcoming revival. Although he doesn’t plan on returning as a main character, he seems open to being an extra on set. During a trip to the new Harry Potter store in Chicago, Felton expressed his views on the upcoming adaptation. Contrary to what some fans might assume, Felton appears eager rather than protective about fresh faces joining the enchanting world that significantly influenced his acting career.

According to Felton, he will likely make a secret appearance in a scene as an extra, demonstrating his eagerness to contribute in a low-key manner. He also mentioned during an interview with Jake’s Takes that he can’t wait to astonish whoever gets cast as the new Draco.

Felton mentioned that there’ll once more be a sign reading ‘Draco Malfoy’, either on a trailer or dressing room. He eagerly anticipates astonishing the youngster who sees it… Absolutely, he confirmed, not as advice but simply to encourage enjoyment of the experience.
