Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has largely proven a success among fans who have had the opportunity to preview the two-part play already.
Now the wait for everybody else is almost over, as the Cursed Child script will be released Sunday, July 31 at midnight. That will give readers everywhere the chance to immerse themselves once again in J.K. Rowling’s magical wizarding world. Set 19 years after the events of The Deathly Hallows, the story deals primarily with the relationship between a middle-aged Harry and his youngest son Albus, who is dealing with “the weight of a family legacy he never wanted.”
And don’t worry, for Potterheads who want to be able to picture the play’s cast while reading its script, production photos from the stage at the Palace Theatre in the West End are available for all. See the full gallery above.
