So this is Dickens, with magic. It's the real deal, live in front of you, so much better than any film could be.

There's magic in every moment at Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the most awarded play in history and "one of the most defining pop culture events of the decade" (Forbes).
Nearly two decades after their heroic deeds, Harry, Ron, and Hermione find themselves embarking on a thrilling new quest. This time, they are accompanied by a courageous new generation who have just begun their journey at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Expect astonishing magic, a breathtaking journey through time, and a grand showdown to stop the powers of evil, all with the fate of the future hanging by a thread.
This one-of-a-kind theatrical experience is packed with "thrilling theatricality and pulse-pounding storytelling" (The Hollywood Reporter). It will leave you "audibly wowed, cheering and gasping" (The Telegraph), as "visions of pure enchantment send shivers down your spine" (Rolling Stone). "It is out of this world, it's magic, it's a hit" (The Times).
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is one play presented in two parts, which are intended to be seen in order on the same day (matinee and evening) or on two consecutive evenings.
The producers of The Cursed Child want every Potter fan heading into the play to be surprised by its twists and turns, so we won't reveal too much. We can say that Harry, Ron, and Hermoine are now all in their late 30s, married with kids and respectfully employed. Harry and Ginny's son Albus is just starting his first term at Hogwarts, yet his father's reputation hangs heavy around his neck, and he resents being only known as the son of The Boy Who Lived. Yet when sinister forces from Harry's past reemerge into the world, Albus must embrace the Potter legacy for the battles to come...
The script for The Cursed Child was released as a book on July 31, 2016. The importance of the date? It's J.K. Rowling's and Harry Potter's birthday!
