J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter stage play premiered in London in 2016.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a two-part stage play by Jack Thorne, based on an original story by Thorne, Rowling, and John Tiffany. Preview performances began at the Palace Theatre in London on 7 June 2016, and the play officially opened on 30 July 2016.
The story is set nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It follows Harry as an adult employee of the Ministry of Magic and his son Albus Severus Potter, who is beginning his own time at Hogwarts.
The stage production won multiple awards, including the Olivier Award for Best New Play. It is a theatrical sequel rather than an eighth prose novel in the original Harry Potter series.
