Tom Felton returns as Draco Malfoy in Broadway's ‘Cursed Child'
Tom Felton, best known for his iconic role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series, is enchanting fans once again. This November, he will reprise his role on Broadway in the acclaimed play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child . This marks his first time on the New York stage and a magical return to the wizarding world after 15 years, according to Entertainment Now. Felton's stint at the Lyric Theatre will run for 19 weeks, from 11 November to 22 March. This makes him the first original Harry Potter film actor to join the stage production. The play continues the story 19 years after the original saga ended. Now, Draco Malfoy is no longer a schoolboy but a father navigating the challenges of adulthood alongside Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The actor shared his excitement on Instagram. He teased fans with a clip of himself donning his signature platinum blond hair and wand. 'Guess who's back,' he captioned, sparking a wave of enthusiasm from Potterheads worldwide. Comments poured in, including cries of 'Oh my Dumbledore, what is happening? This is incredible,' highlighting just how eagerly awaited this return is. In an interview with Today , Felton described the experience as a 'pinch-me situation.' He reflected, 'I let go of that character 16 years ago, and now I get to step back into his shoes, as a father this time, in a new story.' At 37, Felton is the same age as Draco in the play, which adds a poignant layer to his performance. 'I know him quite well as a kid. I don't know him that well as an adult. So that's the exciting challenge ahead for me,' he explained. Felton's return is not just a nostalgic trip but a full-circle moment. 'Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honours of my life,' he said. 'Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me… It feels surreal to step back into his shoes – and of course, his iconic platinum blond hair. I am thrilled to be able to see his story through and to share it with the greatest fan community in the world'. The original films are still beloved, and an HBO series is rekindling interest among younger generations. Felton's return to Draco Malfoy offers a bridge between past and present. Tickets for the Broadway run are available online, priced in US dollars but roughly equivalent to between R1,800 and R2,500 per seat, depending on seating and booking time. This is a rare chance to see an original cast member bring new life to a much-loved character on one of the world's most prestigious stages. In the words of producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, 'Tom's return to Hogwarts connects generations of fans and revitalises a cherished narrative.' For anyone who grew up with the books and films, or for those discovering the magic anew, this is a moment to celebrate. Draco Malfoy is back – and this time, he's a father with a story all his own.

Survivor 48: Kyle Fraser wins the final - Here's how the jury voted
Kyle Fraser was crowned the winner of Survivor 48, securing the title of Sole Survivor and the $1 million grand prize in the season finale aired on Wednesday. The three-hour finale saw Kyle outmaneuver finalists Joe Hunter and Eva Erickson, earning the majority of the jury's votes through his strategic gameplay, immunity win, and social finesse. The Survivor 48 finale began with five players: Kyle Fraser, Joe Hunter, Eva Erickson, Kamilla Karthigesu, and Mitch Guerra, following Shauhin Davari's elimination. Kamilla won the first immunity challenge, a puzzle-based obstacle course, and chose Eva for the sanctuary reward, strengthening their alliance. At Tribal Council, Mitch was voted out, leaving four players. In the final immunity challenge, Kyle clinched victory, securing a spot in the final three and the power to assign immunity. He chose Joe, forcing Kamilla and Eva into the fire-making challenge, where Eva prevailed. The final three—Kyle, Joe, and Eva—faced an eight-person jury: Cedrek McFadden, Chrissy Sarnowsky, David Kinne, Star Toomey, Mary Zheng, Shauhin Davari, Mitch Guerra, and Kamilla Karthigesu, per GoldDerby. Kyle's victory came from his balanced gameplay, highlighted by a hidden idol play (negating three votes), an extra vote advantage, and a secret alliance with Kamilla that orchestrated key blindsided. At the Final Tribal Council, Kyle articulated his strategic control and social bonds, outshining Joe's challenge-heavy resume and Eva's emotional narrative tied to her autism journey. The jury vote resulted in a 5-2-1 split: Kyle received five votes (from Kamilla, Shauhin, David, Star, and Cedrek), Eva earned two (from Mary and Mitch), and Joe secured one (from Chrissy). The prize money remains standard: $1 million for the Sole Survivor, $100,000 for the runner-up (Eva), and $85,000 for third place (Joe). Jury members received a $10,000 reunion show bonus, while early eliminees earned as little as $3,500, per EntertainmentNow.
