What is the name of J.K. Rowling’s wizarding-world stage play about Albus Potter?

J.K. Rowling’s wizarding-world stage play about Albus Potter is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a stage play based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne. Thorne wrote the script, while Tiffany directed the original production. The play begins nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Its central characters include Harry’s son Albus Severus Potter and Draco Malfoy’s son Scorpius Malfoy. Albus struggles with his family’s reputation and his experience at Hogwarts, while the story explores friendship, parenthood, and consequences involving time travel.

The original production opened in London’s West End in 2016. The published script was released in the same year and was presented as the “eighth story” in the wizarding world, although it is a play rather than an eighth Harry Potter novel. The title is therefore distinct from the seven-book series.
