WHAT YOU SAID

This is a great night out for everyone, even if you're not a Potterhead.

"Want a magical memory that will last until your very last breath? Well before you leave this planet... visit the dimension of Harry Potter & The Cursed Child! Take your family and friends or go alone, no matter what, after watching HP your faces will be jawdropping for hours, days, months, years."

- Daphne, New York

"If like me, you're worried the magic won't match what you see on the big screen, and your vision of Hogwarts will be torn away - then you have nothing to fear. It makes you believe in magic that touch more. The illusions...the use of special effects and the story leads you to feel even more involved in Harry Potter's world than ever before. It's a triumphant piece of theatre, and if I could use a time turner to go back and watch it again, I would!"

- Scarlet, New York

"... a magical experience not to be missed." 

- Karen, San Francisco

"This show is everything Broadway should be. Magical, daring and all-round brilliant! From the acting to the technical wizardry I was bowled over by every element of the production. This is a great night out for everyone, even if you're not a Potterhead."

- Abigail, New York

"Absolutely frickin' wonderful...The special effects were amazing... just amazing."

- Morgan, San Francisco

 Yes, it really is that good!

WHAT WE SAID 

"Were it not for the fact us Muggles know magic is not real (hands up who else is still waiting on that Hogwarts letter) Jack Thorne, JKR and John Tiffany could have fooled me, because what they have created in this thrilling theatrical marvel is truly enchanting. Never have I walked out of a theatre feeling more elated, exhausted and entertained...with the effect that even recalling it now... there are tears of relief in my eyes. Yes, it really is that good."

- Kitty for New York City Theatre

"Conjures the impossible! Magical doesn't even begin to describe it."

- Entertainment Weekly

"Leaves you gasping in wonder!"

- Time Magazine

What is Harry Potter and the 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...
