Tom Felton will become Draco Malfoy again – this time, on Broadway
'Being a part of the 'Harry Potter' films has been one of the greatest honours of my life. Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me, because when I begin performances in Cursed Child this fall, I'll also be the exact age Draco is in the play,' Felton, currently 37, said in a statement.
Felton will be making his Broadway debut in the role, beginning performances at the Lyric Theatre on Nov 11 and playing through March 22, 2026.
Malfoy was Potter's nemesis in the books and eight movies, but in the play, set 19 years after the events of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows , Potter's son, Albus, becomes friends with Malfoy's son, Scorpius, at Hogwarts.
It will mark the first time a member of the Harry Potter film cast has joined the stage production.
Felton made his West End debut in 2022, starring in 2:22 A Ghost Story, and in 2024 was in Gareth Farr's play A Child Of Science at the Bristol Old Vic. His movie credits include They Will Kill You , opposite Patricia Arquette, and Fackham Hall with Damian Lewis. – AP

‘Harry Potter' stars grounded: Emma Watson and Zoe Wanamaker banned from driving for speeding
LONDON, July 17 — Two stars of the Harry Potter films, including actress Emma Watson, were each banned from driving for six months Wednesday after being caught speeding in separate incidents. Watson, 35, who played Hermione Granger, the friend of boy wizard Potter in the hugely popular movie franchise, was banned for driving at 38 miles (61 km) an hour in a 30-mile zone in southeastern Banbury last July. Zoe Wanamaker, 76, who played Quidditch teacher Madame Hooch in Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone, was banned for six months for her offence. She had been caught driving at 46 miles an hour in a 40-mile zone of the M4 motorway in southeastern Berkshire last August. The cases were dealt with separately by a lower magistrates court in the town of High Wycombe. Neither of the stars attended the hearings, at which they were each fined £1,044 (RM5,936). Watson, who was stopped while driving her blue Audi, has been studying at Oxford University. Her lawyer told the court that although she was a student 'she is in a position to pay the fine'. — AFP
