Tom Felton Makes Ovation-Filled Broadway Debut as Draco Malfoy

Producers extended his limited engagement through May 10, 2026 following strong demand.

Overview

  • Felton stepped onstage at New York’s Lyric Theatre on Nov. 11 to sustained cheers that paused the show for roughly 30 seconds before he delivered his first line, “I need a favor.”
  • He becomes the first actor from the Harry Potter films to join the stage production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
  • The engagement now spans 26 weeks after an initial 19-week plan, with tickets available for performances through May 10, 2026.
  • The refreshed Year 7 Broadway company features tour transfers John Skelley as Harry Potter, Emmet Smith as Albus Potter, Aidan Close as Scorpius Malfoy, and Trish Lindstrom as Ginny Potter.
  • Audience nostalgia peaked when Felton nodded to a signature Draco moment by delivering the “Scared, Potter?” line during his debut performance.
