Tom Felton to Join HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD

Tom Felton will be returning to Hogwarts! The antagonist star of the Harry Potter film series will be reprising his original role as “Draco Malfoy” in HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD on Broadway this fall. Felton will begin performances at the Lyric Theatre on November 11th for a 19-week limited run. This will be his Broadway debut.

Felton says – “Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honors 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.”

In 2022, Felton made his West End debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story. He then went on to play the lead role of “Bob Edwards” in Gareth Farr’s play A Child of Science shortly after in 2024. Felton’s film credits include Rise of the Planet of the Apes, A United Kingdom, In Secret, Feed, Risen, The Forgotten Battle, Save the Cinema, and Some Other Woman. 

HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD takes place 19-years after the final “Harry Potter” book- Harry and his friends are now parents, sending their children off to Hogwarts. Harry Potter’s son befriends his old rival Draco Malfoy’s son, and a whirlwind adventure begins.

The production premiered in London in 2016, before making its way to Broadway in April 2018. Originally a two-part experience, the show condensed to a single part in December 2021 with a shortened revised version introduced in November 2024.

In 2018, HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD was nominated for 10 Tony Awards®, going on to win five, including Best Play. The play is written by Jack Thorne, with direction under John Tiffany.
