Tom Felton to Reprise Draco Malfoy Role in ‘Harry Potter' on Broadway
Tom Felton, who rose to fame as Draco Malfoy in the 'Harry Potter' film franchise, is reprising his role as the boy wizard's blond archnemesis in the Broadway production of the show, for a limited engagement beginning in November. He will be making his Broadway debut with his turn in 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' — his first return to the character in 15 years — and will be in the show through March, according to a news release. Felton said in a statement on Wednesday that being part of the Harry Potter films had been one of the greatest honors of his 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,' he said. '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.' The Broadway show takes place 19 years after the original series ended. Draco is now a father, and all grown up with Harry, Ron and Hermione, send their children to Hogwarts. Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, producers for the show, said in a joint statement that Draco left an indelible impression on Harry Potter fans around world and that Felton's return to the franchise will offer Potterheads a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see him again. 'This moment is powerful on many levels,' they said, adding that the moment was charged with nostalgia, evolution and emotion. 'Tom's return to Hogwarts bridges generations of fans and breathes new life into a beloved story.' Since appearing in the 'Harry Potter' films, Felton has acted in the 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' and 'A Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting' movies. He also made his West End debut in 2022, as the star of '2:22 A Ghost Story.'

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors One of the original "Harry Potter" actors is reprising their role for the stage play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child", but it won't be one of the good guys.

"It's very much a pinch-me situation," Felton said. "I keep thinking I'm dreaming. I let go of that character 16 years ago, and now I get to step back into his shoes, as a father this time, in a new story." Rupert Grint (L) Emma Watson (M) and Daniel Radcliffe (R) on the set of the film "Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban," London, England, 2003. Rupert Grint (L) Emma Watson (M) and Daniel Radcliffe (R) on the set of the film "Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban," London, England, casting represents a number of firsts. Not only will this make him the first member of the original film cast to join the "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" stage play, but it will also represent Felton's Broadway debut. "'Potter' was a massive chunk of my childhood, and now I get to sort of go back whilst also going forward," Felton said. "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" takes place 19 years after the conclusion of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", when the children of Draco, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are attending Hogwarts. Felton is a fitting addition to the cast, considering how the play turns fan expectations on their heads. Rather than history repeating itself, Harry's son Albus is sorted into the Slytherin house, where he befriends Draco's son Scorpius. "The play is such an independent story from the 'Potter' films that I grew up with," Felton said. "We start 19 years later ... now we're no longer children. We actually are the parents." "So as much as it is reprising an old role for me, it's very much treading into new, unfamiliar territory. I know [Draco] quite well as a kid. I don't know him that well as an adult. So that's the that's the exciting challenge ahead for me." This news comes a little over a week after the casting news dropped for the heroic child trio of the upcoming "Harry Potter" HBO Max reboot series. Newcomers Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout will play the respective roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.
