Synopsis
This is the official script book for the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, written by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne, and marketed as the "eighth story" in the Harry Potter series. It picks up nineteen years after the events of Deathly Hallows, opening as Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione see their own children off to Hogwarts. This Special Rehearsal Edition was released alongside the play's 2016 West End opening.
Where it sits
- Universe: Harry Potter
- Series: not part of a registered series (standalone work within its universe)
- Author: J.K. Rowling
Notes
- Stage-play script by Jack Thorne from a story by Thorne, Rowling and Tiffany, not a Rowling-authored prose novel. Rowling has called the play canon; fandom divided.
