Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two

Being Harry Potter has never been easy. And it isn’t much easier now, as we catch up with him nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts.

These days, Harry is a husband, father of three school-age children, and an overworked employee at the Ministry of Magic.

While he struggles with a personal history that refuses to stay in the past, his youngest son Albus must grapple with the weight of the family legacy he never asked for.

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 the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, the play was scripted by Jack and directed by John.

It received its world premiere in London’s West End on 30 July 2016.

Published in 2016, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two reflects contemporary themes and storytelling that resonates with today's readers.

It sits at the crossroads of Fantasy, Young Adult, and Plays, making it appealing to readers with varied tastes who enjoy stories that defy easy classification.

Available on Bookble for readers looking to explore John Tiffany's work and build a focused reading list.
