Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One and Two: The Official Playscript of the Original West End Production
The official playscript of the original West End production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
The playscript for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was originally released as a 'special rehearsal edition' alongside the opening of Jack Thorne's play in London's West End in summer 2016. Based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, the play opened to rapturous reviews from theatregoers and critics alike, while the official playscript became an immediate global bestseller.
This definitive and final playscript updates the 'special rehearsal edition' with the conclusive and final dialogue from the play, which has subtly changed since its rehearsals, as well as a conversation piece between director John Tiffany and writer Jack Thorne, who share stories and insights about reading playscripts. This edition also includes useful background information including the Potter family tree and a timeline of events from the Wizarding World prior to the beginning of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

This is another enjoyable chapter in the series, on par with the original books. However, since it’s a screenplay, I suggest watching the performance first before reading it, as I did. A significant portion of the story is conveyed beyond the written words and through the production.

It’s a meh book

There were other ways Albus and Scorpius could have saved Cedric without ending the world. A) Stop Cedric from ever putting his name in the Goblet of Fire B) Distract Cedric in the maze long enough so he never finishes. I don’t like that Albus is so moody, and they should of saved Fred Weasley and Colin Creevey as well. Their survival wouldn’t change the world, just personal feelings. Like those of Dennis Creevey, George Weasley, and a girlfriend Fred never had 😢😢😢😢😢 And for the “Cursed Child” part, it should have been something cool, like Albus was completely unable to be Sorted at all. So yeah, not my favorite. Ok, fine. I’m sorry. It was a good concept, and I was just being rude. I actually liked it, and would totally want to see the play.
