Tom Felton To Play Draco Malfoy In Harry Potter And The Cursed Child
Last Updated: Tom Felton will make his Broadway debut by playing Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, replacing the current actor, Aaron Bartz. Nearly 14 years after playing Draco Malfoy on screen, Tom Felton is set to reprise the role on Broadway. He hasn't acted as Draco since the final Harry Potter movie, Deathly Hallows: Part 2, in 2011. Now, Felton will make his Broadway debut by stepping into the part in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. He will replace the current actor, Aaron Bartz. Fans will get a chance to see him in the iconic blond wig for a limited time. From November 11, 2025, to March 22, 2026, the actor will perform at New York's Lyric Theatre for 19 weeks only. As per the Harry Potter website, Felton, sharing his excitement about stepping back into Draco's shoes and joining the Wizarding World once again, 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." In the teaser video, Tom Felton can be seen wearing Draco Malfoy's blonde wig and black robes. With the same intensity in the Harry Potter movies, he picks up his wand and delivers the iconic line, 'Scared, Potter?" with a chilling look.
