Fans flooded the comment section expressing their excitement, and one user wrote, “I hope that one day Tom, Emma, Dan and Rupert will perform in this production together.” Even if it's just for a few hours. " Another user wrote, "Whaaaaat! I saw it with Tom Felton, and now we are having both? I need to go back again to watch them both in action." “Saw Tom twice and was thinking of a third trip. Now… this! What an amazing time. If only he and Tom overlapped. If ONLY we could get all original cast members. Wishful thinking, but just imagine,” wrote the third user.
Rupert Grint follows Tom Felton's return
Rupert Grint isn't the only actor who has returned to be part of the Harry Potter universe for Cursed Child. Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the films, recently reprised his role on Broadway. His run has been extended through early January 2027. Unfortunately for the Potter fans, the duo's Broadway engagement begins after Tom Felton's run concludes.
