For fans of the Harry Potter series, by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, offers fans a look into the beloved hero’s life after the famous Battle of Hogwarts that took place at the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Taking place 19 years after the famous battle, readers find themselves back at King’s Cross station as young witches and wizards prepare to embark on their yearly journey to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry, Ron, and Hermione have long since disappeared from the classrooms at Hogwarts, and are now sending their children to the great wizarding school. In this new story by Jack Thorne, we meet James, Albus, and Lily Potter, the children of Harry and Ginny Potter, along with Rose Granger-Weasley, the offspring of Ron and Hermione Granger-Weasley, as well as Scorpius Malfoy, the only son of Draco Malfoy. We also revisit familiar faces such as Professor McGonagall and Albus Dumbledore.
Life may seem peaceful for our beloved characters, since the demise of the Dark Lord Voldemort occurred over 19 years ago, but what would a Harry Potter story be without the rise of dark magic and a powerful enemy? This newest story explores the rise of a new enemy that threatens the peaceful life of wizards and muggles alike. Our characters also grapple with their past and the futility to change it, no matter how much loss it brings. Throughout our adventure, we encounter how our characters deal with love, loss, and the power of friendship. We also observe how rumors and family fame can affect a child’s life. Albus Potter tries to live up to the fame and legend of his father Harry Potter, but can’t seem too, while Scorpius Malfoy lives shrouded by a vicious rumor about his parentage, which lead the best friends on a quest to change the life of one character, which in turn changes the whole course of time, and the lives of some of our most loved characters. Characters that readers are sure to have pegged as “good” or “bad” in past novels are shown to be more three dimensional in this story, with their points of view being explored more in depth than in past novels. The story also takes readers back into familiar settings such as The Ministry of Magic, and the locations of events from the Triwizard Tournament found in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child offers fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat scenes filled with vibrant imagery and heartfelt dialogue, along with emotional insights into the iconic characters that fill the magical world of Harry Potter. For a refreshing look into the beloved character’s life, and the adventures that occur after the Battle of Hogwarts, pick up Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at your local bookstore today.
