What is the name of the stage play based on an original story by J.K. Rowling about Harry Potter’s son?

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the stage play based on an original story by J.K. Rowling about Harry Potter’s son.

The play is set nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Its central characters include the adult Harry Potter and his son Albus Severus Potter, who struggles with the weight of his family history. Draco Malfoy’s son, Scorpius, is also a major character.

Jack Thorne wrote the play’s script, and John Tiffany directed the original production. Rowling was credited for the original story, but she did not write the stage script alone. This distinction is a frequent source of confusion.

The original production opened in London’s West End in 2016. The published script was released as a book, making the play accessible to readers who could not attend a theatrical performance.
