Synopsis
Written with John Tiffany & Jack Thorne.
Subtitled : Parts One & Two - Playscript.
Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne. It is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage.
The critically acclaimed production is most awarded West End play in the history of the Olivier Awards, winning a record-breaking nine awards including Best New Play and Best Director in 2017.
Nineteen Years Later . . . It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is one play presented in two parts. This definitive & final playscript includes the conclusive dialogue from the play as well as extra content.

External Reviews
" . . . the magic is here, and I like it just the same. The plot might be convoluted and crazy, but the world is magical enough for it to somehow work. It makes for all the thrills and mystery you come to expect from the Harry Potter universe." - Goodreads Review.
"Whether encountered on stage or on the page, this trip back into the magical world of Hogwarts is thrilling" - The Telegraph.
"Fans can breathe easy knowing this play has been respectfully and lovingly wrought. Tensions thrum, spells fly but at centre stage, as always in the Potterverse, is the overriding importance of love and friendship, especially in the face of danger." - Booklist.
