Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a sequel to the globally beloved and best-selling Harry Potter series, written by J. K. Rowling and Jack Thorne, and directed by John Tiffany. Taking place nineteen years after Harry and his friends defeated Lord Voldemort, it follows Harry's son Albus as he joins Hogwarts, befriends the son of his father's old rival Draco Malfoy, and tries to find his own way outside his father's shadow. It premiered at the Palace Theatre in July 2016, and has since won nine Olivier Awards, having been by seen more than 14 million people worldwide, including over 2.5 million at its London home.

The stage play recently celebrated its 10th anniversary in the West End and announced a shift in its format from its original two-part production to a re-imagined one-part production, which will give it a run time of 2 hours and 55 minutes, and will deliver the entire story in a single performance. The intent is to make the show more accessible and allow audiences to experience the play through only a single visit and ticket. This is the version of the show currently performed around the world, including on Broadway.

The multi award-winning, record-breaking two-part production will play its final performance on 20 September, with the one-part version beginning performances at the Palace Theatre from 6 October. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is currently booking until 27 June 2027.
