The stage play features the characters later in life.
Tom said of the New York shows: "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.'

We revealed last year how The One Show fans were left seriously distracted by an iconic Harry Potter villain's striking change of appearance.
As he gave insights into his new theatre play, viewers took to X and expressed how they were left distracted by the Harry Potter sensation's new look years after he was last seen in the films.
'Omg, that is not Tom Felton on The One Show', one user wrote.
'Genuinely didn't recognise Tom Felton on The One Show, makes me feel old lol," a second echoed.

A third cruelly swiped: 'Tom Felton looks knackered.
"Like a pint of milk left outside on a piping hot summer's day.'

Bruce Springsteen joined by Paul McCartney at Liverpool concert
The American musician was joined on stage by the 82-year-old Beatles star during the second of two shows at Anfield stadium on Saturday, with Sir Paul then providing vocals as the pair played the band's Can't Buy Me Love. Springsteen, 75, and his E Street Band are in the UK as part of his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, which kicked off with three shows in Manchester last month. Sir Paul McCartney previously performed with Bruce Springsteen at Glastonbury in 2022 (Danny Lawson/PA) Footage shared on social media showed the surprised crowd cheering loudly as Sir Paul was introduced, before he then playfully pointed at Springsteen and the pair shared an embrace. Before he left the stage after their performance, Sir Paul addressed the crowd and reportedly said: 'Thank you, Scousers.' The two men have previously performed together on several occasions, most notably when Sir Paul delivered a headline set at Glastonbury in 2022. Announced as a surprise all the way from the east coast of America, Springsteen joined Sir Paul, who became the festival's oldest solo headliner, as they played hits Glory Days and I Wanna Be Your Man on the Pyramid Stage. In 2012, Sir Paul had joined Springsteen on stage at the end of the singer's headline slot at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park, London, but both stars found their microphones cut off before they could address the crowds after exceeding the curfew. Beginning his career in the 1960s, Springsteen has gone on to have 12 UK top 10 albums and four UK top 10 singles and is best known for songs such as Born In The USA, Dancing In The Dark and Born To Run. His Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, which includes 16 dates across six European countries, will conclude in Milan, Italy, on July 3.
