Tom Felton is extending his run as the platinum-blonde baddie Draco Malfoy in Broadway‘s “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.”
He joined the show in November 2025 and was scheduled to depart on March 22, 2026. He will now remain with the production through Nov. 1, 2026. Felton is not scheduled to appear at performances on May 11 through 31, Aug. 17-23, Sept. 14-20 and Oct. 12-18.
This marks Felton’s Broadway debut. It’s also the first time an original “Harry Potter” cast member has joined the stage production of “Cursed Child.” Since Felton reprised as Draco Malfoy, whom he portrayed in all eight “Harry Potter” films, “Cursed Child” has held the No. 1 spot at the Broadway box office. It’s the highest-grossing production in the history of the Lyric Theatre, setting the house record at $3.7 million for the nine-performance week ending Dec. 28, 2025.
“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” opened on Broadway in 2018 after a successful debut on the West End, where the show is still running. Originally told in two parts, the Broadway version was truncated after the pandemic and retooled into a single, three-and-half-hour show. The story takes place 19 years after the final “Harry Potter” novel. Now as parents, Draco — as well as Harry, Ron and Hermione — are grown up and sending their own children off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Felton previously referred to his casting in the Broadway production as a “full-circle moment” for him. “It’s surreal to be stepping back into his shoes – and of course his iconic platinum blond hair,” he said last summer. “And I am thrilled to be able to see his story through and to share it with the greatest fan community in the world.”
