The play is set 19 years after Harry, Ron, and Hermione save the wizarding world, and they are now joined by a brave new generation that has only just arrived at the legendary Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child earned nine Olivier Awards including Best New Play for its West End mounting, and six Tony Awards including Best New Play for its Broadway production.
