Tom Felton, best known for his role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series, is making a much-celebrated return to the wizarding world. He will reprise his role as Draco in the Broadway adaptation of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, starting November 11, 2025, at the Lyric Theatre in New York City. This marks Felton’s first time portraying Draco on stage and his Broadway debut, creating buzz among long-time fans of the franchise.

Set 19 years after the original books, The Cursed Child explores the next generation of wizards, particularly the friendship between Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy. Felton, now the same age as the character he once played as a teen, described the opportunity as “surreal and incredibly meaningful.” His return brings both nostalgia and renewed excitement to the production, which has been running since 2018.

In addition to returning to Hogwarts, Felton is taking on a vastly different role in an upcoming international series titled Gandhi, directed by Indian filmmaker Hansal Mehta. The historical drama focuses on Mahatma Gandhi’s early years in London, where Felton will portray Josiah Oldfield—a British lawyer and one of Gandhi’s closest friends during that period. This casting marks a major step for Felton into more serious biographical storytelling.

The dual announcement reflects a major career moment for the actor, as he revisits his most iconic role while stepping into a significant historical figure’s world. Felton’s fans, both old and new, are thrilled to see his artistic range on display—from fantasy stages to historical narratives—proving that he's much more than just a Slytherin villain.
