Harry Potter and the Cursed Child continues the legacy of J.K. Rowling’s world with a story that picks up 19 years after the final novel. Written by Jack Thorne and directed by John Tiffany, the play brings to life a new chapter filled with nostalgia, wonder, and heart. The Broadway production, staged at the Lyric Theatre, dazzles with its inventive illusions by Jamie Harrison, intricate choreography by Steven Hoggett, and a striking visual design that captures the atmosphere of Hogwarts and beyond.
The show opened in London’s West End in 2016 before crossing the Atlantic in 2018, earning widespread acclaim and major awards, including the Tony for Best Play. Its New York staging retains the magic and scale of the original, offering audiences an immersive theatrical experience that’s both technically astonishing and emotionally resonant.
Storyline
Set nearly two decades after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child follows an adult Harry, now a Ministry of Magic employee, and his youngest son, Albus Severus Potter, as they grapple with the past and its shadows. When Albus forms an unexpected friendship with Scorpius Malfoy, the pair embark on a daring, time-bending adventure that threatens to rewrite wizarding history. As fathers and sons face truths they’ve long avoided, the boundaries between past and present blur in ways even Dumbledore couldn’t foresee.
