The world was very excited when JK Rowling revisited her legacy, and penned the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child which is to come to the stage in London this summer. Apparently there’s still a massive appetite out there with fans just dying to know what happened to the beloved characters.

Now there’s great news for people who want to read a physical copy of the play, especially those who weren’t able to get their hands on tickets to see the next chapter of Harry’s story.

The script of the play will be released as an eBook and in print on July 31st after the play opens in London.


Here’s the basic synopsis of the new tale from Pottermore:

‘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.’

Get excited.
