What is the full name of J.K. Rowling’s wizarding-world play first staged in London in 2016?

The wizarding-world play first staged in London in 2016 is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

The play was written by Jack Thorne, based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Thorne. Its plot is set nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and follows an adult Harry working at the Ministry of Magic and his son Albus Severus Potter.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child premiered at the Palace Theatre in London in 2016. The published script was released on 31 July 2016, Rowling’s birthday, and was marketed as the eighth official story in the Harry Potter series.

It is a stage play rather than one of Rowling’s seven original novels. That distinction matters because the printed edition is a script, and the story’s theatrical effects and staging are central to its presentation.
