original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by
Jack Thorne, 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. The play will receive its world premiere in London's West End on 30th
July 2016. 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.
