Harry Potter play coming to London stage in summer 2016

NULL

There's good news for Harry Potter fans. A play picking up where the seventh and final book in J.K.Rowling's best-selling series left off is due to open in London in summer 2016. "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is based on an original story part-written by Rowling. In it, our boy hero will be all grown up, and working for the Ministry of Magic. The play will consist of two parts which can be see the same day or over two days. Tickets for the first 16 weeks of performances will go on sale on Oct. 30. Rowling co-wrote the story with scriptwriter Jack Thorne and theatre director John Tiffany. "The story only exists because the right group of people came together with a brilliant idea about how to present Harry Potter on stage," Rowling was quoted as saying.
