Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

About this book

Nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter is a weary Ministry of Magic employee and a father of three. While Harry wrestles with a past that refuses to stay buried, his youngest son Albus must live with the weight of a family legacy he never asked for. As the two learn an uncomfortable truth about fathers and sons, darkness gathers from unexpected places. This is the official script book of the hit stage play, presented as Parts One and Two in a single edition. It opens on Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, where Albus nervously heads off to his first year at Hogwarts, fearing the Sorting Hat and the shadow of his famous surname. On the Hogwarts Express he meets Scorpius Malfoy, the son of Harry's old rival, and a friendship begins that will shape the whole story. Written as a play, the story moves fast, with sharp dialogue, humour and heart. Familiar faces return, including Ron, Hermione and Ginny, alongside a new generation of young witches and wizards. It is a must-read for Harry Potter fans who want to see what happens next, and an easy, absorbing introduction to the stage-script format.
