Draco Malfoy Returns: Tom Felton Steps Back into the Magical World - on Broadway
Felton resurrects Malfoy character on the Broadway stage once more - Draco Malfoy, portrayed by Tom Felton, returns to the stage on Broadway.
Ready for a little bit of "Harry Potter" magic? Tom Felton, the man behind Draco Malfoy, is making a comeback! Fourteen years after portraying the infamous character on the big screen, he's swapping silver screen for the Broadway stage. From November 11, you can catch him in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" for an impressive 19-week run. Felton confirmed this latest update on NBC's "Today Show" – making history as the first original cast member from the film series to join the stage adaptation's stellar lineup.
A Tear-Jerking Costume Fitting for Draco
"It's like I'm living a dream," gushed Felton during his "Today Show" reveal. "I still can't believe it." Putting on the iconic blonde Draco wig brought on the tears for this actor, sparking a journey through nostalgia. "The 'Harry Potter' films were such a big part of my childhood," he shared, Jesse Palmer, the "Today Show" anchor, remarking on the surreal experience.
Fun fact: Felton will be approximately the same age as his character in the production this fall. "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" picks up with the characters as adults, embarking on new adventures with their kids.
Will "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" Receive a Movie Adaptation?
The question on every "Harry Potter" fan's lips: when will we get a movie version of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child"? While Chris Columbus, who directed the first couple of “Harry Potter” films, has shown interest, it's anyone's guess whether such a project will ever materialize. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Tom Felton (and their aging characters) are all at the appropriate age for a movie adaptation, but sadly, no official announcements have been made thus far.
