What is the name of the stage play based on an original Harry Potter story co-written by J.K. Rowling?
Answer
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
The stage play based on an original Harry Potter story co-written by J.K. Rowling is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
The play’s story is credited to Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, while Thorne wrote the script. It is set nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and follows adult Harry Potter, now working at the Ministry of Magic, and his son Albus Severus Potter.
The original West End production opened at London’s Palace Theatre in 2016. Jamie Parker played Harry, Noma Dumezweni played Hermione Granger and Paul Thornley played Ron Weasley in the original cast.
The published script is presented as a stage play rather than as the eighth novel in Rowling’s seven-book series. That distinction matters: Cursed Child continues the story in theatre, while the original novels remain a separate seven-volume sequence.
