Tom Felton Extends Stay in Broadway’s ‘Harry Potter and The Cursed Child’

Tom Felton has proved that magic is in fact real, extending his stay as Draco Malfoy in “Harry Potter and The Cursed Child” on Broadway.

Felton first reprised his role as Malfoy — returning to his character for the first time in 15 years — in November 2025 at the Lyric Theatre. While he was originally scheduled to perform in the show for a 19-week engagement through March 22, 2026, his time on the Main Stem was first extended through May 10, and now through November 1.

The newly-announced extension excludes performances on May 11-31, August 17-23, September 14-20, and October 12-18, where he will not appear in the show.

Since Felton made his Broadway debut in “Harry Potter and The Cursed Child,” the show has consistently held the No. 1 spot on the Broadway grosses and remains the highest-grossing production in the history of the Lyric Theatre, even setting a box-office record at $.7 million for the nine-performance week ending December 28, 2025.

“Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Felton shared in a statement when his role was first announced. “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.”

“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” — the magical story that takes place 19 years after “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows” — arrived on Broadway in 2018 and officially became the fifth longest-running Broadway play in history, surpassing 1978’s “Deathtrap.” 

The play delves into the story of Harry’s son, Albus, who befriends Scorpius Malfoy — the son of Harry’s rival, Draco. Both boys enter a journey where they’re met with the power to change the past — and future — forever.

Following its Broadway debut, the show has received high praise; Forbes described the production as “one of the most defining pop culture events of the decade.” It also broke a Broadway record in preview sales and won nine Olivier Awards for its original West End run.
