What title did J.K. Rowling use for the 2016 stage play created with Jack Thorne and John Tiffany?

J.K. Rowling used the title Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for the 2016 stage play created with Jack Thorne and John Tiffany.

The production is set nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Its story follows an adult Harry, now a Ministry of Magic employee, and his son Albus Severus Potter as they struggle with family expectations and the consequences of time-travel experiments.

Jack Thorne wrote the script, while John Tiffany directed the original production. Rowling was credited with the original story, making the play an official continuation of the Wizarding World rather than an eighth novel in the original book series.

The play opened in London’s West End in 2016. Its published script was released in print as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two, reflecting the production’s two-part structure.
