Nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and the father of three school-age children. While Harry struggles with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son, Albus Severus Potter, must wrestle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted.

Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, with the play written by Jack Thorne and directed by Tiffany. It became the eighth story in the Harry Potter saga and a hugely successful production on stages around the world.

At Hogwarts, Albus does not fit the mold his famous father set. He is sorted into Slytherin and forms an unlikely friendship with Scorpius Malfoy, the son of Harry’s old rival Draco. Feeling distant from his father and determined to prove himself, Albus sets out with Scorpius on a daring mission involving time travel, hoping to right a wrong from the past. But their actions have unexpected and dangerous consequences, and past and present begin to collide in alarming ways.

The story explores themes of friendship, family, loss, identity and the complicated relationships between parents and children, while revisiting familiar characters and places from the series.

Written in script form, the book is quick to read and offers fans a chance to experience the story of the play. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2 is a must-read for fans who want to return to the wizarding world.
