In a move that's got everyone in the wizarding world buzzing, Tom Felton has announced his return as the infamous Draco Malfoy for the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The news has sent shockwaves through the fandom, with fans going into meltdown mode on social media.
The actor, now 37 and sporting a sleek new look, played the role of the blonde bad boy in the original Harry Potter film series from 2001 to 2011. And it seems like he's still got the charm and magic to pull off the character, as fans are absolutely ecstatic about his return.
Tom will be reprising his role as Draco for a limited run of 19 weeks, concluding his performances in March 2026 at the Lyric Theatre in New York City. But what makes this news even more exciting is that Tom has revealed he'll be playing the exact age of Draco during the show - talk about full-circle!
Speaking on the Today show, Tom gushed about being part of the Harry Potter franchise and how this new production will be a dream come true for him. "Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honors of my life," he said with a smile. "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."
For those who may not know, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is set 19 years after the original series ended and follows the next generation of wizards as they attend Hogwarts. The story centers around Harry's son Albus and Draco's son Scorpius, who become best friends and get entangled in their own adventures - and nearly destroy the wizarding world in the process!
