Tom Felton is set to reprise his iconic role as Draco Malfoy in the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, marking the first time an original film cast member has appeared in the stage show.

Felton, 37, will take over the role of the now-adult Draco from Aaron Bartz, starting performances at the Lyric Theatre in New York City on November 11 for a limited 19-week run.

"It's very much a pinch-me kind of situation," Felton said on the Today show. "I keep thinking I'm dreaming. I let go of that character 16 years ago, and now getting a chance to step back into his shoes – as a father this time, in a new story – I get to meet Draco as an adult, which is very exciting."

Felton's return marks the first time any actor from the original movies has starred in Cursed Child. He will appear as Draco at the Lyric Theatre in New York City starting November 11 for 19 weeks.

Felton also said in a statement shared by Today on Thursday, "Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honors 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."

Meanwhile, Chris Columbus, who directed the first two Harry Potter movies, previously expressed interest in adapting Cursed Child into a film, stating that he'd be down to helm the project with the original main cast of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Tom Felton as their adult counterparts.
