Answer
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
J.K. Rowling co-created Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a stage play about Harry Potter’s adult life. The story is set nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The play was written by Jack Thorne and directed by John Tiffany. Its story was developed from an original idea by Thorne, Rowling, and Tiffany. It focuses on Harry as a Ministry of Magic employee and on his relationship with his son, Albus Severus Potter.
The play began previews in London’s West End in June 2016 and officially opened there on 30 July 2016. Its published script was marketed as the “eighth story” in the Harry Potter series.
It is important not to classify Cursed Child as one of Rowling’s seven Harry Potter novels. It is a theatrical script, and its format, collaborators, and stage production distinguish it from the original book series.
