Tom Felton is stepping onto the Broadway stage with a little help from an old friend. Tom Felton, best recognised for playing Draco Malfoy in the 'Harry Potter' films, revealed during the 2025 Tony Awards that Daniel Radcliffe has been a supportive mentor as he gets ready to make his Broadway debut in 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'.
Radcliffe, a seasoned Broadway performer, has offered advice and encouragement to help Felton navigate the transition to live theatre.
Tom Felton, 37, expressed gratitude for the support and said Radcliffe’s Broadway experience has been invaluable. He also shared his excitement about joining a vibrant community of theatre professionals and dedicated fans. Felton is set to reprise his role as Draco Malfoy in the production, which begins its limited run at the Lyric Theatre in New York City in November 2025. The show continues the 'Harry Potter' saga, set 19 years after the final book, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'.

Tom Felton on Reprising as Draco Malfoy
Tom Felton admitted he never imagined stepping back into Draco’s shoes, especially as a more mature version of the character who is now a father. As a longtime fan of the stage production, he revealed that he’s seen the play multiple times both in London and on Broadway. Returning to the wizarding world in a new context is something he finds both nostalgic and creatively refreshing.
Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter from 2001 to 2011, has built an impressive theater résumé over the years, including acclaimed roles in 'Equus', 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying', 'The Cripple of Inishmaan', 'The Lifespan of a Fact', and most recently, 'Merrily We Roll Along', which earned him a Tony Award.
