Broadway’s Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has revealed its new company, with original film stars Tom Felton and Rupert Grint at the centre of the casting news. The new cast members begin performances at New York’s Lyric Theatre on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
Jocelyn Maher will make her Broadway debut as Ginny Potter, and Matt Harrington, direct from the show’s North American tour, will play Ron Weasley through January 31, 2027. Eight ensemble members also join the company on November 10, including Josh Bates, Markcus Blair, Danny Bo, Casey Butler, Erin Chupinsky, Lauryn Hayes, Jennifer Thiessen and Timmy Thompson.
Felton Stays, Grint Returns
Original Harry Potter film star Tom Felton will continue his performance as Draco Malfoy alongside Aidan Close as his son Scorpius through January 3, 2027. As previously announced, Rupert Grint, who also appeared in the original films, will join the company as Ron Weasley from February 2, 2027, for a limited run through May 30. Cody Combs will make his Broadway debut as Scorpius Malfoy at the same performance.
Ben Thys will take over as Draco on January 5 after originating the role in the play’s North American tour. Returning Broadway company member Erik Christopher Peterson will play Scorpius for a limited engagement through January 31.
The Show Goes On
Continuing in their current roles are John Skelley as Harry Potter, Emmet Smith as Albus Potter, Rachel Christopher as Hermione Granger, Janae Hammond as Rose Granger-Weasley and Kristen Martin as Delphi Diggory. Directed by John Tiffany and based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and Tiffany, the play is set 19 years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, centering on Harry’s headstrong son Albus. The production has become one of Broadway’s most reliable draws, and the casting of two more original film stars — Felton now and Grint from February — keeps the Wizarding World reunion at the centre of its appeal.
