Tom Felton Reveals Daniel Radcliffe’s Tips for Broadway Debut

Tom Felton, renowned for his portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series, is set to make his Broadway debut in *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child* on November 11, 2025. In a recent appearance on *Good Morning America*, Felton shared how his long-time co-star, Daniel Radcliffe, has played a significant role in preparing him for this new chapter in his career.

Felton expressed gratitude for the guidance he received from Radcliffe, who has established a successful career in theatre following his time in the Harry Potter franchise. “I’ve taken a few tips from Potter, this is true,” the 38-year-old actor stated. He reminisced about seeing Radcliffe perform in his first Broadway show over a decade ago and acknowledged Radcliffe as a major source of inspiration. Radcliffe began his Broadway journey in 2008 and earned his first Tony Award in 2023.

Stepping back into the shoes of Draco Malfoy, a character he last portrayed in *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2*, Felton shared his excitement about the evolution of the role. “I helped shape [Draco] definitely as a kid, but this time, he has a son, he’s a dad, so I’m taking on all sorts of parental duties as a Malfoy, which has been fun.” His return to this iconic character promises a fresh and nuanced interpretation for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Broadway’s Magical Return

*Harry Potter and the Cursed Child* first opened on Broadway in 2018 and is set nineteen years after the conclusion of the Harry Potter films. The play primarily follows the next generation, focusing on Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy, highlighting the ongoing legacy of the original story.

As Felton prepares for his stage debut, he joins a lineage of actors who have transitioned from film to the vibrant world of Broadway, where performances are often met with great enthusiasm from audiences. The support from Radcliffe not only underscores their enduring friendship but also exemplifies the collaborative spirit within the arts community.

With the premiere date fast approaching, anticipation grows for Felton’s portrayal of Draco Malfoy in this beloved adaptation. As he draws on Radcliffe’s experience and advice, audiences can expect a compelling performance that reflects the character’s complexities and growth. The collaboration between these two stars, once rivals on screen, now resonates with a shared commitment to bringing the magic of the Harry Potter universe to life on stage once more.
