Jack Thorne's play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is based on a new story from J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne. This is the eighth Harry Potter story and the first official stage production. A special rehearsal edition of the script - a continuation of the journey of Harry Potter, his friends and family - was released simultaneously with the play's premiere in London's West End on July 30, 2016 and immediately became a bestseller. Being Harry Potter is never easy. And now he, overburdened with work at the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children, is having a hard time. And while Harry is trying to deal with a past that he doesn’t want to become in the past, his youngest son Albus is struggling with the burden of a family legacy that he never liked. Past and present are ominously intertwined, and a difficult truth becomes apparent to father and son: darkness sometimes comes from the most unexpected places.
