Which J.K. Rowling book is set nineteen years after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is set nineteen years after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The work opens with Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and Draco as adults sending their children to Hogwarts. Its central characters include Harry’s son Albus Severus Potter and Draco’s son Scorpius Malfoy. The story explores their friendship and the pressure created by their parents’ reputations.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a stage play, not an eighth novel in Rowling’s original sequence. It was written by Jack Thorne, based on an original story by Thorne, J.K. Rowling, and John Tiffany. The published script appeared in 2016, while the play began previews in London that same year.
