The unveiling of a brand-new (not to mention huge) Harry Potter team is a very special moment indeed. Looking at the sheer number of creative minds at work on this production, it’s safe to say that Harry, Ron and Hermione’s next adventure is in good hands.

And, in case any of you were wondering, Pottermore will reveal who some of the new cast members will be playing very soon…

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne, directed by John Tiffany. It will receive its world premiere in London’s West End at the Palace Theatre this summer and is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage.
