What is the name of J.K. Rowling’s 2016 stage play set after Harry Potter’s school years?

J.K. Rowling’s 2016 stage play set after Harry Potter’s school years is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

The play was written by Jack Thorne, based on an original story by Thorne, John Tiffany, and Rowling. It begins nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and follows Harry as an adult employee of the Ministry of Magic. His son Albus Severus Potter is the play’s other central figure.

The original West End production opened at the Palace Theatre in London in 2016. Jamie Parker played Harry Potter, while Sam Clemmett played Albus in the original production. The script was published as a book in 2016, but the work was created as a stage play rather than as an eighth Rowling novel.

That distinction is a frequent source of confusion: Rowling provided the story foundation, while Thorne wrote the script and Tiffany directed the original production.
