Brace yourselves, Potterheads—Draco Malfoy is coming to the Great White Way, and he’s being played by the one and only Tom Felton!
Fourteen years after bidding farewell to the silver-screen version of Hogwarts, Felton will reclaim his signature sneer in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, opening at New York’s Lyric Theatre on November 11, 2025. This moment is genuinely historic: never before has an original film cast member stepped onto the Broadway stage as their beloved character.
In true full-circle fashion, Felton is now 37—exactly the same age Draco is in the story. Fans can practically feel the magic pulsating through the theatre, knowing he’ll be donning that iconic platinum wig once more. During his first costume fitting, Felton admitted to tearing up the instant he saw himself transformed back into Malfoy—an emotional reminder that some roles refuse to let go.
Over the years, he’s popped up at countless fan gatherings, conventions, and red carpet events, enthusiastically honoring his Slytherin roots. By returning to Cursed Child, he’s embracing the evolution of Draco the father—now guiding Scorpius Malfoy—while still paying homage to the mischievous youth who captured our imaginations.
Tickets officially hit the market on June 12, 2025, but loyal fans should mark their calendars: presale begins on June 10 (with registration wrapping up on June 9). If you’ve ever dreamt of watching Tom Felton strut across the Broadway stage as the ultimate Potter villain, now’s your chance. Whether you’re a die-hard Malfoy devotee or simply curious to witness this one-of-a-kind Broadway debut, be ready to secure your seat—and experience firsthand why Tom Felton can never quite leave Draco Malfoy behind.
