Harry Potter and the Cursed Child cast in London’s West End
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is booking in London’s West End for another year – here’s all you need to know.
Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, hit West End play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series.
A synopsis of the show shares: “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.”
