Overview

  • Felton becomes the first original Harry Potter film actor to join the Broadway edition of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for a limited run through March 22, 2026.
  • The 37-year-old star said he was “not really that attuned” to J.K. Rowling’s anti-transgender remarks and that they did not influence his decision to return to the franchise.
  • Daniel Radcliffe is helping Felton adapt to live theatre by guiding him through stage-specific effects and performance techniques.
  • Some fans have criticized Felton for not speaking out against Rowling’s views while other franchise alumni, including Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, have publicly distanced themselves from the author.
  • HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series continues in production with John Lithgow cast as Albus Dumbledore, underscoring the franchise’s ongoing expansion.
