Which 2016 stage play did J.K. Rowling co-write about Harry Potter’s adult son Albus?

J.K. Rowling co-wrote the 2016 stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child about Harry’s adult son Albus.

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 Harry as an employee of the Ministry of Magic and Albus as a student at Hogwarts.

The original production opened in London’s West End in 2016. Jamie Parker played Harry Potter, Noma Dumezweni played Hermione Granger, and Paul Thornley played Ron Weasley in the original cast. The play was presented in two parts.

Although often called the eighth Harry Potter story, it is a stage play rather than an eighth novel in Rowling’s original seven-book sequence. Its published script was released in 2016 and has also been staged internationally.
