Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - One Part in London

Return to the Wizarding World in this sweeping, epic sequel to the best-selling Harry Potter series set nineteen years after the books ended, filled with all your favourite characters and several new ones, and packed with all the magic, whimsy, and twists and turns we've come to love from this timeless story.

Why you should watch Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

  • For those of us who grew up with the books especially, it's a thrilling opportunity to revisit the world we fell in love with, to return to Hogwarts and see beloved characters like Harry, Ron, and Hermione in a brand new light.
  • The play captures the same whimsical, fantastical tone of the books, filled with spell-casting, magical creatures, time travel, and of course, a powerful coming-of-age story.
  • It also uses dazzling special effects and illusions to create the impression of flight, spells, and Apparition and Disapparition, and bring the wonder and spectacle of the Wizarding World to life.

What is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child about?

Nineteen years after Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort, the Wizarding World is finally at peace. Harry's youngest son, Albus Severus, has just begun his first year at Hogwarts and is desperate to step outside his famous father's shadow. Sorted into Slytherin, he befriends Scorpius Malfoy, the son of his father's old rival, and the two embark on a deadly journey through time in a quest to right a wrong that was committed years before they were born.

This stage play is a sequel to J. K. Rowling's globally beloved Harry Potter series, with a script written by Rowling herself alongside Jack Thorne, and directed by John Tiffany. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child premiered in London in 2016 and has since won nine Olivier Awards and holds a record 60 major honours globally. It began its run as a two-part theatrical event and has now shifted to a single one-part performance, making the production more accessible and allowing even more audiences to experience the magic through only a single ticket and visit. The Wizarding World has been enchanting and delighting audiences of all ages since 1997, and continues to do so, with a brand-new Harry Potter television series releasing on HBO. For lovers of the franchise, the play, now celebrating its tenth anniversary in the West End, is just another way to keep the magic and wonder of Harry Potter alive, and experience Rowling's timeless story through the breath-taking magic of theatre.

Don't miss your chance to return to the world of Harry Potter with this boldly reworked version of a play that's been delighting audiences for the last decade.

A fantastic show

Everything is perfect but very young children might be frightened at times so even though they may be Harry Potter fans, it would be better to avoid bringing children under 8 at least.

Simply loved it

It was just AMAZING. I didnt really know what to expect since the book i wasnt that big of a fan off (the rest of them i am a big fan off). But it was great. I laughed a lot but also had a tear in the scene of snape with the dementors and his patronus same with the parents of harry. At the start of the first show a lot happened at the same time ans you need some time to get used to it. The dementors were amazing loved that felt so real and beautifully done i got goosebumps

Excellent after 20 minutes

After the first 20 minutes (Part 1) I was ready to leave the theatre. Messy beginning, missed the build up. After that though, it became better and better and better. Good thing I stayed. Part 2 was magnificent

Most awesome production I’ve ever seen!

The staging was incredible, the special effects superb, the acting fantastic and the storyline continued the way the books finished perfectly. I was brought to tears a few times with the sensitivity of the actors when witnessing Harry’s parents die, when Hagrid discovers baby Harry and when Scorpius and Albus tell each other how they really feel. I would 1000% come back to watch this show again.

It's ok

It was entertaining enough but nothing special. Felt very 'member-berry. Almost nobody in the balconies could see the pool scenes. I feel like there could have been way more magic or illusions and less "daddy issues the musical"

Amazing

amazing production. Visiting from Australia and were truly mesmerized. I was concerned that not reading or watching Harry Potter, I’d be watching just a show - far from that, you really didn't need to have an extensive knowledge, just what I knew from my kids. Brilliant, wonderful!!! What wasn’t good. Although we booked seats with leg restrictions, we didn’t think that meant you had to be a 4ft child. It was extremely painful with our legs not able to move at all. The tickets need to advise a minimum height. At the half time break, we asked if any other seats were available as our seats were extremely uncomfortable. The Box Office lady said are you in row A of the Grand Circle, so its a wildly know problem. For the amount of pain and suffering the seats should be offered at 25% of the ticketed price. Awful seats, not suitable for adults, medically dangerous with level of restriction.

Nice idea

It's a good show, I think, my main complaint is the seating and that's not their fault, I couldn't work out if the pausing, stuttery delivery if hermione was intentional for the character or just not great delivery but she's an olivier award winning actress so my guess is it was just her impersonation of Emma Watson. I enjoyed the limited amount I saw but again, not the productions fault.
