Main Street.To fans who have waited for nearly a decade for a new entry in J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world of Harry Potter, midnight Saturday, July 30, can’t come quickly enough.
That date marks the release of “Harry Potter and The Cursed Child – Parts I & II,” the script to a play by the same name, which is set to premiere that night on London’s West End.
The play’s plot represents the eighth official mainline story in the beloved fantasy series. Fans will be able to catch up with Potter and his friends with events that pick up after the epilogue of the last novel, 2007’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” which is set 19 years after a dramatic final showdown between the lightning-scarred boy wizard and series antagonist Lord Voldemort.
Based on an original narrative written by Rowling in coordination with British dramatists Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, “The Cursed Child” finds Harry a father of three and “an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic.”
