Tom Felton, who played Harry Potter’s arch-nemesis Draco Malfoy in all eight Harry Potter films, is now reprising the role in Broadway's Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Check out photos of Felton, who began performances November 11, 2025, in the gallery below.

Felton, who has returned to the part for the first time in nearly 15 years, is playing an extended limited engagement through May 10. The role marks his Broadway debut. He is also the first actor from the original Harry Potter film to join the stage production, which takes place 19 years after the end of the original series. Felton's arrival has sent the box office soaring, breaking records at the Lyric.

In an earlier statement, Felton said, “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."

The Broadway company also currently features John Skelley as Harry Potter, Emmet Smith as Albus Potter, Aidan Close as Scorpius Malfoy, Trish Lindstrom as Ginny Potter, Daniel Fredrick as Ron Weasley, Rachel Christopher as Hermione Granger, Kristen Martin as Delphi Diggory, and Janae Hammond as Rose Granger-Weasley.

The ensemble includes Chadd Alexander, John Alix, Logan Becker, Darby Breedlove, Megan Byrne, James Cribbins, Ted Deasy, Gary-Kayi Fletcher, Dani Goldberg, Alexis Gordon, Caleb Hafen, Logan James Hall, Chance Marshaun Hill, Jay Mack, Samaria Nixon-Fleming, Bradley Patchett, Alexandra Peter, Dan Plehal, Allie Re, Gabrielle Reid, Isaac Phaman Reynolds, Kiaya Scott, Maren Searle, Stephen Spinella, Tom Stephens, Khadija Tariyan, Baylen Thomas, Julius Williams, and Riley Thad Young.

The Tony-winning Harry Potter and the Cursed Child recently became the third longest-running Broadway non-musical play.

Following a world premiere in London in July 2016, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child opened on Broadway as a two-part experience April 22, 2018. The production would go on to be nominated for 10 Tony Awards, winning five, including Best Play.

The condensed, one-part production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child opened December 7, 2021, at the Lyric Theatre following the COVID-19 pandemic. A new, shorter iteration was implemented on Broadway in November 2024.

Based on a new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a play by Thorne, directed by Tiffany.

The production also features movement by Steven Hoggett, set by Christine Jones, costumes by Katrina Lindsay, music and arrangements by Imogen Heap, lighting by Neil Austin, sound by Gareth Fry, illusions and magic by Jamie Harrison, and music supervision and arrangements by Martin Lowe. U.S. casting is by Jim Carnahan.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Colin Callender and Harry Potter Theatrical Productions.
