f you are hungry for more Harry Potter characters and magic, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is for you. In the play, Harry Potter is a grown up but still brings magic and enchantment. 'Potterheads' were already excited even before the launch of the play in July.
What is the plot of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a play written by playwright Jack Thorne, directed by John Tiffany, and based on an original story by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. The play is the Harry Potter's eighth adventure created by JK Rowlings and his team. The creators of adaptation that follows the epilogue of Harry Potter's seventh book and movie have split it into two parts; part one and part two. The adventure tells a story about a middle-aged Harry and his son Albus who interestingly has taken up after his father to join Hogwarts. After receiving some intel about an illegal Time-Turner, Harry works with Minister for Magic Hermione Granger (who is married to Ron Weasley) to track it down.
Are the reviews good?
Some critiques have had some quibbles regarding the play. The reactions have been mixed, with some in favor while; some get the direction of the play. The Financial Times, for instance, has said this concerning the adaptation, "long and bogged down by too much incident and too many characters." According to The Guardian, the play is a "Convoluted story", and only "makes much more sense to hardened Potterheads than to anyone who is not a member of the global cult."
Where can we get tickets?
Harry Potter fans can exclusively see the play at The Palace Theatre, Westend. Though the initial tickets sold out in 2015, those that didn't get a chance on the first bandwagon can still join in the 2017 opening. The play is slated to come to Broadway in 2018.
The tickets will be available online, and the system will select customers randomly, so as to give a golden chance to people from different regions. The Friday run will be providing tickets for the following week together with extensions for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
