What is the name of J.K. Rowling’s wizarding-world play set after Harry Potter’s story?

The wizarding-world play set after Harry Potter’s story is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

The play is credited to Jack Thorne, based on an original story by Thorne, J.K. Rowling and John Tiffany. It premiered in London’s West End in 2016. The published script is described as the eighth story in the Harry Potter series, although it is a stage play rather than an eighth Rowling novel.

The plot takes place nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Harry is working at the Ministry of Magic, while his son Albus Severus Potter begins at Hogwarts. Albus becomes close friends with Scorpius Malfoy, the son of Draco Malfoy, and the boys become involved in a dangerous attempt to alter the past.

A common mistake is to call the work Rowling’s eighth book. Rowling helped originate the story, but Thorne wrote the script and Tiffany directed the original production. The play won major theatre awards, including the Olivier Award for Best New Play.
