Professor Flitwick Sees Malfoy's Broadway Return
16 Aug
Summary
- Tom Felton's Cursed Child run features a reunion with Warwick Davis.
- Davis played Professor Flitwick, Felton's on-screen Hogwarts teacher.
- Felton's final Cursed Child performance is scheduled for January 3, 2027.
Tom Felton, reprising his role as Draco Malfoy in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" on Broadway, experienced an emotional moment when his longtime Wizarding World co-star, Warwick Davis, attended an Aug. 13 performance. Davis, who portrayed Professor Filius Flitwick and Griphook in the original Harry Potter films, was in the audience as Felton performed. This reunion brought a poignant connection to their shared history, particularly when Felton uttered the line "Wingardium Leviosa," a spell taught by Flitwick in the first film.
Felton, who will continue in the role through January 3, 2027, has made his Broadway run a hub for cast reunions, with Jason Isaacs also having attended previously. Davis’s visit also coincides with his own upcoming return as Professor Flitwick in HBO's new Harry Potter television series, marking his transition from the movie franchise to the upcoming adaptation.
"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is set 19 years after the events of "Deathly Hallows," exploring Draco Malfoy's adult life and his son Scorpius's friendship with Harry Potter's son, Albus. Felton's extended engagement means audiences can see the Slytherin troublemaker navigate adulthood on stage until early 2027.
