Harry Potter & The Cursed Child Show

Jack Thorne's 2016 British two-part play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is based on an original story by J. K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Thorne. It is currently being performed in six different cities around the world: London, New York, Melbourne, San Francisco, Hamburg, and Toronto. The plays depict what happens after the films end, and the story is performed live on stage: "While Harry struggles with a past that refuses to stay put, his youngest son Albus must bear the burden of a family legacy he never wanted." As the past and present merge ominously, both father and son learn the unsettling truth: "Darkness can come from unexpected places."

The Palace Theatre in London's West End hosts the show, and Leicester Square is the closest tube station. It's only a 5-minute walk to the theater. The play is divided into two acts, with performances available from Wednesday to Sunday. If you want to see both parts of the play in one day, the best days to go are Wednesdays and Saturdays, when Part 1 begins at 2pm and Part 2 begins at 7.30pm. Tickets start at £15 per performance (£30 for both parts), but can cost up to £80 per performance (£160 for both parts) depending on seating. Both times and prices are available on the Harry Potter The Play website, and for more mature fans, this is an excellent addition to the Harry Potter things to do in London list!
