There’s still a year before J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter play hits London’s West End. And that just means there’s still a year for fans to speculate about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Rowling’s been very adamant that the play is not a prequel.(Though the Potter spinoff film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a prequel.)
But now there’s new evidence that the ‘cursed child’ could be someone fans are familiar with.
That hardly narrows it down, of course. But if anything is certain, Rowling will be giving us more hints and riddles leading up to opening night.
