So, guess who’s casting a spell over Broadway this November? None other than Tom Felton, the quintessential Draco Malfoy, is stepping back into that iconic platinum blonde hair and cunning smirk—not on the silver screen, but live, in the flesh! It’s been 14 long years since he last graced the Wizarding World in all its cinematic glory, and here he is, ready to stir the pot once again in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Now, isn’t it a cosmic coincidence that with Mercury in retrograde – the planet of communication playing its usual tricks – our favorite Slytherin mischief-maker also decides to return? Perhaps the stars are hinting that some stories aren’t quite done, and some wands still need to be wielded. As Felton prepares to enchant New York’s Lyric Theatre, I can’t help but wonder—are we ready to be charmed, or should we be bracing for a little Malfoy mischief once again? Either way, it’s a full-circle moment that’s too magical to miss. LEARN MORE
Tom Felton has announced that he will be returning to the Wizarding World, 14 years after his last appearance.
The British actor played the iconic antagonist to Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, in all eight titles.
Felton starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson as the star child actors leading the franchise in the 2000s.
Malfoy is known for his sharp inflection of the word ‘Potter’, being a nuisance, and more or less representing what Slytherin house is all about at Hogwarts.
In a role that the actor has previously said that he was very fond of, rumours have swirled about past actors reprising their roles, or new ones, in HBO’s small-screen adaptation of Harry Potter.
It’s set to begin filming this summer, with the new Harry, Hermione, Ron recently officially cast.

However, Felton hasn’t been confirmed to be part of the upcoming TV adaptation.
But the actor took to Instagram to announce a return to the Harry Potter world, sporting the famous wig and robe, saying: “Scared, Potter?”
He captioned the post: “Guess who’s back.”
In another post, it was announced that Felton would reprise his role as Draco Malfoy in the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
While he’s voiced the character in the franchise’s video games and even made an appearance in the 20th anniversary special, this is his first acting gig as Malfoy in over a decade.
It’s the first time that a Harry Potter actor has reprised their role in the spin-off stage production, which is an epilogue to Potter’s story.
The play opened in London’s West End in 2016, before moving to New York in 2018.
Speaking about picking the wand back up again, Felton admitted: “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.”
Felton will be reprising the role 24 years on from his first appearance in the Wizarding World (Warner Bros.)
The actor, 37, will play the role at New York’s Lyric Theatre from 11 November, for 19 weeks.
The play will take place 19 years after the end of the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, with the original trio and Malfoy sending their own kids to Hogwarts.
In a statement, the actor added that it would be a ‘full-circle moment’, pointing out that he would be the same age as Draco in the play when performances begin.
“Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honours of my life,” he added.
Felton added: “I look forward to joining this incredible company and being a part of the Broadway community.”
