Tom Felton, who originated the role of Draco Malfoy in the "Harry Potter" film series, has extended his Broadway run as the character in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." His acclaimed performance will continue for an additional six months, with his tenure now concluding on Sunday, November 1. Felton began his engagement at the Lyric Theatre on November 11, 2025, a move that has significantly revitalized interest in the play.
Since Felton joined the production, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" has consistently led Broadway in box office earnings. The play, which is now presented as a single part, has become the highest-grossing production in the history of the Lyric Theatre. It notably set a box office record of $3.7 million for the nine-performance week ending December 28, 2025.
Felton's casting represents a significant moment, marking the first time a member of the original "Harry Potter" film cast has joined the stage production. The play, set 19 years after the original film series, features grown-up versions of Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco, now sending their own children to Hogwarts. The current cast includes John Skelley as Harry Potter and Trish Lindstrom as Ginny Potter.
