Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Description

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London...experience the magic for yourself.

Following 9 ¾ incredible years in the West End, 2026 marks an exciting new era for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. They are evolving the production to share its magic and wonder with more people than ever before.

The clock is ticking on the original two-part production, with final performances on 20th September, but from 9th October, you can experience the magic of our reimagined show.

19 years after Harry, Ron, and Hermione saved the wizarding world, they’re back on a most extraordinary new adventure – this time, joined by a brave new generation that has only just arrived at the legendary Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Prepare for spectacular spells, a mind-blowing race through time, and an epic battle to stop mysterious forces, all while the future hangs in the balance.

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).

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a new play by Jack Thorne received its world premiere in London’s West End at the Palace Theatre in summer 2016.
