WHAT IS CURSED CHILD ABOUT?
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...

Amazing
Saw this with my 10 year old daughter. The show is long (3+ hours)... But wow. The story, the acting and production is amazing. The effects really blew me away. Goosebumps. I cried, laughed and fell in love with the Harry Potter franchise again. I'd see it again. Only real complaint is with the venue.. very very packed and they should've opened up more bars during intermission. The big bar at the south side was closed.

Having been a HP fan for years- read all books, saw all movies. Wasn’t a huge fan of this format or storyline.
Would i recommend, absolutely ðŸ‘ðŸ‘. ... Read more
