Tom Felton Extends Broadway 'Cursed Child' Run Two More Months
Tom Felton is an actor who played Draco Malfoy, a not-so-nice boy, in the Harry Potter movies.
Now he is acting in a play called 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' on Broadway in New York.
The play tells a new story that happens 19 years after the movies ended, about Harry Potter's children going off to Hogwarts.
In the play, Tom plays Draco Malfoy all grown up — Draco is now a father.
Tom was going to leave the show, but the people in charge asked him to stay for two extra months.
He will perform through the beginning of January instead of leaving in early November.
Tom is the first actor from the Harry Potter movies to join this stage play, and that has made lots of people excited.
Since he joined, the show has been one of the best-selling plays on Broadway.
He will have some days off in August, September, October, and November.
Tom Felton will remain in Broadway's 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' for an additional two months, in what producers call the final extension.
Felton, who plays adult Draco Malfoy, is now set to perform through Sunday, January 3, after being previously scheduled to depart November 1.
The actor began his engagement at Broadway's Lyric Theatre on November 11, 2025, revitalizing public interest in the play that opened in 2018.
He is the first member of the original Harry Potter film franchise cast to join the stage production, which is set 19 years after the original series.
Since Felton joined, the production has consistently been at or near the top spot on the Broadway grosses charts.
