Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One and Two : The Official Playscript – Rowlingová Joanne Kathleen (2017)

This revised and expanded official playscript presents the eighth story, set nineteen years later. Being Harry Potter is still difficult: he is now an overworked Ministry of Magic employee, husband and father of three school-age children. As Harry struggles with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus faces the burden of a family legacy he never wanted. When past and present ominously merge, father and son learn that darkness can come from unexpected places. Based on an original story by J. K. Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, the play opened in London’s West End to enthusiastic reviews, and its official playscript became an immediate global bestseller. This revised paperback edition includes the final dialogue from the play, which changed subtly after rehearsals, as well as a conversation between director John Tiffany and writer Jack Thorne about reading playscripts. It also contains background information, including the Potter family tree and a timeline of events from the Wizarding World before the beginning of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The edition received the Tony Award in 2018.
