Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is set 19 years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and is pitched as the eighth part to the bestselling series. The theatrical event is in two halves and is based on a new story by JK Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany.
Here's a synopsis 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.
