Tom Felton returns as Draco Malfoy but there’s only one way Harry Potter fans can see it
Warner Bros.Draco Malfoy star Tom Felton is set to reprise his role as the blond-haired Slytherin, but it’s not for the Harry Potter TV show.
It’s all kicking off in the wizarding world right now. Last month, the young cast were announced for HBO’s upcoming series, with newcomers Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout joining the cast as Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, respectively.
Prior to this, six key cast members were revealed, including John Lithgow as Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as Snape, Nick Frost as Hagrid, and Janet McTeer as McGonagall.
Malfoy is yet to be cast, but until then, fans can see Felton as the infamous antagonist – although there’s only one way to catch him.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play adds Tom Felton’s Draco Malfoy
Felton’s reprising his role Draco for the stage production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Lyric Theatre, New York. So, if you’re in the UK or outside the US, it’s going to be one very expensive trip down memory lane.
The actor, who played the character in all eight Harry Potter movies, will appear in the play for a 19-week Broadway run, from November 11, 2025 to 22 March, 2026.
This isn’t his first time on the stage, but it is the first time a star from the original films has joined the cast of the Cursed Child production. If you’re interested in attending, you can sign up for pre-sale tickets here.
In a statement, 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.”
The plot of the play takes place 19 years after the events of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with the original West End production premiering at the Palace Theatre on June 7, 2016.
There were talks of a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child movie, but that’s never been more than a rumor.
