Tom Felton to Reprise Role as Draco Malfoy on Broadway in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

14 years after wrapping his role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series, Tom Felton will be donning the platinum blonde hair once again on Broadway this fall.

Beginning on November 11th, Felton will be making his Broadway debut as Draco in the sequel play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which takes place 19 years after the end of the original Harry Potter series and features Harry, Ron, Hermoine, and Draco as parents. Felton’s casting marks the first time a Harry Potter film series cast member has returned to play their role in The Cursed Child; the news also arrives as the upcoming Harry Potter TV series on HBO, which has been building its cast over the last few months.

Of his upcoming Broadway debut and reprising his role as Draco, 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 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.”
