Tom Felton, or as he’s infamously known, Draco Malfoy, will be making his Broadway debut in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The actor will be reprising his role as the foul-mouthed Slytherin after he departed the franchise in 2011. Set 19 years after Deathly Hallows, the story follows Harry’s son, Albus Potter, and Draco’s son Scorpius, as they navigate their time at Hogwarts and embark on a time-traveling adventure that brings their parents back into the fray.

The play is a single-part production, condensing the original two-part format into an accessible theatrical event. Sure to draw in nostalgia and authenticity to the story, the Broadway show will see an elevation in the Wizarding World magic.
