Tom Felton to play Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway

Tom Felton will make his Broadway debut as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Lyric Theatre.

Felton, who played the Draco in Harry Potter film series, will appear in the production for 19 weeks, from 11 November to 22 March. He made his West End debut in 2023 in the drama 2:22 A Ghost Story.

This will be the first time a member of the original Harry Potter film cast has joined the stage production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which tells a new story that takes place 19 years after the end of the original series. 

Felton said: “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 autumn, 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.”

Draco, now a father, along with Harry, Ron and Hermione are all grown up and sending their own children off to Hogwarts.
