Felton had his first show at New York City’s Lyric Theatre, where the crowd went absolutely wild seeing him back in character.
As seen in videos taken during the play, the British actor was met with rapturous screams and applause for nearly 30 seconds as he stepped onto the stage for the first time, before uttering his first line: “I need a favor.”
The Broadway production’s official Instagram account captured the epic moment and shared it, writing, “It’s true then, what they’re saying on the train.” Draco says that line about Harry’s arrival to Hogwarts in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”
Another post showed Felton as Draco standing alone on the stage facing an empty audience. “Welcome home, Tom,” the caption read.
According to People, Felton also received applause when he said another iconic line from the movies: “Scared, Potter?”
Other clips showed Felton visibly emotional as he got a standing ovation during the final bows at the end of the show.
“Cursed Child,” which opened on Broadway in 2018, is set 19 years after the events of “Deathly Hallows.”
It brings back Harry, Ron, Draco and Hermione — but especially focuses on the new adventures of their kids, Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy.
Felton, who played Draco in all eight “Harry Potter” movies from 2001 to 2011, is taking on the part again for 19 weeks in “Cursed Child.”
He is the first actor from the original films to perform in the stage production.
“Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Felton said in a statement in June when his casting was announced.
“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.”
Ahead of his first “Cursed Child” performance, Felton said on “Good Morning America” that he’s “taken a few tips” from “Harry Potter” co-star and Tony Award winner Daniel Radcliffe.
“I saw him in his first show 10 plus years ago, and now obviously he is a Tony winner and a big inspiration for the reason why Broadway is so special,” Felton said about Radcliffe, 36.
