Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the stage play based on a story by J.K. Rowling that premiered in London in 2016.

The play is set nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Its central characters include an adult Harry Potter, who works at the Ministry of Magic, and his son Albus Severus Potter. Draco Malfoy’s son Scorpius is also central to the story.

Jack Thorne wrote the play, John Tiffany directed it, and Rowling developed the story with the creative team. The published script was marketed as the eighth story in the Harry Potter series, although it is a stage play rather than an eighth traditional novel.

The original production opened at London’s Palace Theatre in 2016. It was later presented internationally, including in New York, Melbourne, San Francisco, and other cities. The title is often shortened to Cursed Child, but the full title identifies the production precisely.
