Publisher Description
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.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
This book is not as good as the other books but is still pretty good. I also like the family tree and timeline at the end of the book.
Really BAD!
This book was super bad and why did I waste all my ITunes money on this crappy book

As a massive Harry Potter fan, I absolutely loved this book! If you have seen orphan to see the show, I say this is a must read before or after the show! I saw the Melbourne show’s in Melbourne, Australia a couple days ago now and I can say with absolute certainty that they remained true to the script in this book, with a few added lines (I think - it was a while ago now that I read the book)! As long as you don’t mind the story being written as a script, I definitely recommend you read this before or after the show or even if you don’t plan on seeing it!
