Tom Felton is Coming Back as Draco — This Time, On Broadway
Yes, it’s really happening — Draco is back
If you're a Harry Potter fan, this is big news. Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in all eight Harry Potter movies, is officially stepping back into the wizarding world. But this time, it's not for a film or a special. He’s actually joining the Broadway cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child — and yep, he’ll be playing Draco again. Honestly, it kind of feels like a full-circle moment. He’s not the teenage troublemaker we remember — this version of Draco is older, a dad now, and part of a much deeper story.
Felton said it hit him emotionally when he put on Draco’s blond wig again. He said it felt like slipping into an old skin. It's been 16 years since he last played the character, and now he's returning to it with a new layer of maturity. You can tell he really respects the role — and the fans.
Watch it here-
His first-ever Broadway performance
Believe it or not, this is Felton’s first time on Broadway. He’s done movies, TV, and even written a memoir, but never something like this. He’ll be performing at New York’s Lyric Theatre starting November 11, 2025. The plan is for him to be part of the show for 19 weeks — so fans have until March 22, 2026, to catch him live.
The play itself is pretty special. Cursed Child takes place nearly two decades after the original story ended. It follows Harry Potter’s son, Albus, and Draco’s son, Scorpius, as they deal with life at Hogwarts — and all the magical drama that comes with it. The Broadway version has been shortened into a one-part show now (around three hours), so it’s easier for fans to watch in one sitting.
Fans are already hyped
As soon as the announcement dropped, fans online went wild. Tom Felton returning as Draco? That’s something most people weren’t expecting — and definitely not on stage. Social media was full of reactions, throwback photos, and people planning trips to NYC. Even the promo video of Felton in character again is getting a lot of love. There’s a lot of nostalgia in the air, but also a genuine excitement to see how he plays the older, more grounded version of Draco.
Many fans are saying it just feels right. Like who else could play Draco as a father? No one really. This casting has definitely got people paying attention to the play again.
