Answer
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
The stage play co-written by J.K. Rowling that follows Harry Potter’s son is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
The play is based on an original story by Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne, with Thorne writing the script. It begins nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and focuses on Albus Potter, Harry’s younger son, and Scorpius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy’s son.
Harry is an adult employee of the Ministry of Magic, while Albus struggles with the pressure of his family history and his father’s reputation. The plot uses time travel to revisit events from the original series and explore their consequences.
The play premiered in London’s West End in 2016. Its published script is presented as the “eighth story” in the Harry Potter world, though it is a stage production rather than an eighth main novel.
