We could hardly contain our excitement when we saw that Tom Felton will be heading back to Hogwarts and joining the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, according to Variety. However, it will only be for a limited stay so keep reading to find out the details!

You read that right, Tom Felton, the original actor who played Draco Malfoy, will reprise his role in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway. He will join the production beginning November 11th, 2025, and will play the role for 19 weeks through March 22nd, 2026. That means we only have a short time to plan our trip to New York!

This role will be Tom Felton’s Broadway debut, and it is also the first time an original member of the Harry Potter cast will join the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Tom Felton said, “Being a part of the ‘Harry Potter’ films has been one of the greatest honors 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 addition to the new Harry Potter series and Tom Felton reprising his role of Draco Malfoy on Broadway, there is also a brand-new Harry Potter land at Epic Universe! You can step back in time to Paris in the 1920s and explore a whole new world of wizardry. Epic Universe officially opened on May 22nd, 2025, and we have loved getting to explore everything this new park has to offer.
