A new chapter in the Potter family story

Set nineteen years after the earlier story, this two-part playscript shifts attention to Harry as a Ministry of Magic employee, husband, and father, and to his youngest son, Albus, who is uneasy with the family legacy. The drama brings their different struggles into contact with a past that continues to intrude on the present. Presented as the official playscript of the original West End production, the book offers the story in dramatic-script form rather than as a conventional novel.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers following the Harry Potter story beyond its original school years
  • Those interested in a script-format fantasy drama centered on family and legacy
  • Young readers exploring playscripts, as identified in the supplied audience metadata

Book overview

The Eighth Story. Nineteen Years Later. Based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne, a play by Jack Thorne.

 

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children.

 

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son, Albus, must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: Sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

 

The playscript for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was originally released as a "special rehearsal edition" alongside the opening of Jack Thorne's play in London's West End in summer 2016. Based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne, the play opened to rapturous reviews from theatergoers and critics alike, while the official playscript became an immediate global bestseller.
