Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One and Two: The Official Playscript of the Original West End Production by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany & Jack Thorne Book Summary

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.

What did I just read?. Normally? I don’t do fancy mature reviews. But this time, I can make an exception. The book is weird, I’m a potter head who has read all the books, watched all the movies, ec, But this is something I just can’t get over! I was exiting for this because this the epilogue and what happed to Harry’s child Albus, ( named after albus Dumbledore ) anyway albus gets sorted into Slytherin. He goes on adventures with Draco’s son Scorpius. It’s a wild ride of time turners, Voldemort children (What?), and odd timelines . Honestly I don’t know where to begin so … 1: the trolley witch. She’s a monster. what? She’s supposed to hand out sweets not attack people 😕😕 2: If albus didn’t want to be in Slytherin why did he not just ask the sorting hat like Harry did? 3; WHY DO VOLDEMORT AND BELLATRIX HAVE A DAUGHTER! VOLDEMORT CANT FEEL LOVE! LET ALONE HAVE A BABY!! 4: Snape is alive. Don’t even know where to begin with that. 5: Just confusing and a mess. Did JK even wright this? 6: last but not least HARRY IS HARSH! HE SAID HE WISHED HE DIDN’T HAVE ALBUS! He acts like a angsty teen the whole time! Ok that’s it. You can read it but wow. 😳 😒😒😒😞😒😒😒😒😒😒😒 Lol, very true Izkitty Very true.

It is a shame. It is a shame for the book

Harry Potter. This book is amazing but I don’t have money to buy it so the whole thing should be free

Not part of the series!. This book should not exist in the first place!

Great Harry Potter playscript!!!!!. I’m going to have to admit I’m a little disappointed that the cursed child was a play and a playscript instead of a movie and a book. But still, after deathly hallows I didn’t think there would be anything else so I loved this!! Even in the playscript you can still understand the story greatly which I think is pretty cool. Loved it!!!!!!!

BRO FR?!. This book was terrible!! Harry Potter is normally an AMAZING book! But like seriously Rowling?! You could’ve done soooo much better… you stated in one of the 7 Harry Potter books that VOLDEMORT CANNOT LOVE and yet ur shipping Voldemort+Bellatrix?! Now they have a daughter?! Ya uh no this book is not worth anyone’s time. Sorry Rowling but this book is the worst.

Great story, needs improvement. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a great play script. There were a lot of new characters that weren’t really introduced, so it was a little confusing. The villains were also basically a copy of the villains in the Harry Potter series. And it’s pretty much repeating. Throughout the entire story, Albus and Scorpius were traveling through time. But what truly makes this story a good one is the power of story. The Harry Potter series is one incredible story, and building off of the series makes this play script amazing. I love Harry Potter, and I’m very happy that there was this story. The Harry Potter series has also taught me an important yet simple lesson. Love and friendship is the key to everything.

Shoes. I love my shoes

Not good. How could this happen, just plain trash

Quiero mi dinero de vuelta. Me equivoqué y lo compré quiero mi dinero de vuelta

I loved this book!. I love everything Harry Potter and that includes this book! I agree a few things are not correct ( ALL TIME TURNERS WERE DESTROYED) but still great book! If you love Harry Potter read this book!

Not that bad but still bad( would not recommend). I don’t like it. I always kinda liked the fact that Voldemort wasn’t able to love anyone,BUT YET HE WAS ABLE TO HAVE A FREAKING DAUGHTER, with Bellatrix which it kinda makes sense on her side of the spectrum but Idt that he has functioning body parts that are for having a child.

This will be my 1st broadway show!. This rating is really a 4.95 out of 5, despite is being a screenplay i actually enjoyed this book a lot. Reading the family tree and the timeline of all HP books hit really hard! I have completed this entire series in 3 months which is more than I’ve read in the past few years combined… Such nostalgia being able to read about the OG gang and how life turned out after Battle at Hogwarts. I will definitely be watching this screenplay on broadway.

It’s crap. Every bad thing you’ve ever heard is true. It’s garbage, the characters are nothing like themselves in the books. The story is nonsense. It’s just plain bad, do not consider it canon.

Worse than a fanfic. (Please read before buying). There are many thing wrong with this book. First of all, why write a story that revolves around time travel if every possible item to do it was destroyed in the original series. Also, for plot convince, the time turners do not affect the user’s age depending on how far back they travelled. If that logic complies, Scorpius would be dead already and Albus would almost be dead. But no. And, Harry is humble, not a stuck-up. They made Harry how Malfloy was and Malfloy became like Harry. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg. And, since when did Voldemort have a daughter? His character isn’t supposed to be able to love. These authors did a horrible job of recreating the magic of the Jk Rowling.

BIG POTTER FAN but.... I hate this book! So many things made no sense (all timeturners were destroyed)! Albus is just a crybaby and spoilt brat, and I don’t see how Harmonie is minister of magic. The lines and dialogue are really bad (ex: Wow . Skeak. My geekiness is a quivering.) One thing I do like is how the Malfoys are good and that they make me feel bad for Scorpious. But I honestly think that Rowling was in this for the money. (Sorry big Potter fans.) 👎👎👎👍👎👎👎👍👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👍👎👎👎

Honestly. I AM A HUGE HARRY POTTER FAN!!! Rowling: Really???????????? Why would you make this piece of (I’m not going to say trash, but I think you did this for the 💰💵 Money! Since when? WHEN? Have Voldy and Bella been a thing? ALSO IN CASE YOU DIDNT KNOW, VOLDY CANT FEEEL LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! JK Rowling, YOU WROTE THAT IN YOUR BOOKS!!!!! WHY WOULD YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON WHAT YOU WROTE

Trashiest book ever written!!!. I legit never give a bad review, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!! It’s crap, literally. I have things i need to say about this book. 1. VOLDEMORT HAS A DAUGHTER!! SINCE WHEN, HE’S VOLDEMORT 2. ALBUS IS SUCH A BRAT!! HE’S ALL “ I’m a Potter in Slytherin, oh no i’m a disgrace “. HE’S SOOOOOOOO ANNOYING!!!! 3. GINNY IS NOT THE KIND OF PERSON THAT WOULD SAY THE D-WORD!! (In my opinion, others might think differently) 4. I DIDN’T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING THE ENTIRE STORY!!! I HATE THAT & finally (I think) 5. IT’S JUST ( if i said cuss words, which i don’t) bleeeeeeeeep. That’s what I think. Once again, do not recommend, so don’t read. P. S. I’m not trying to make the author/authors feel bad, i just think it’s crap. P. P. S (i think it’s two p’s) If you make a 9th (plz don’t), make it better. Silverflame (I’m a Warriors, WoF, Harry Potter & Wild Rescuers superfan, i have reviews, OCs, & stories on all of those series) signing out

no. this ain’t it sis😘💅🏿💅🏿

I thought this was the audiobook?. I thought this was the audiobook?

Why do people hate this?. So, haven’t read the book yet. Why do people hate it? Give a fan some love. They tried their best. And I’m sure the play was excellent! Please stop giving 1-3 stars. PLEASE. - coolestroman

Good book I can’t stop reading this book one. It’s ok I’ll read it sometimes!

More. Make more Harry Potter books J.K.!!! Also there should be more of a sample instead blah blah scene one blah blah again

I luv Harry Potter!❤️. I really like the Harry Potter series I like to see what comes next and how it ends I’m a really big fan of Harry Potter and his friends but I have a big crush on Draco Malfoy but Harry potter and Hermione and Ron and Ginny out a good help and they I thick that professor Snape should get thrown out at the beginning of the first few movies I absolutely Louth him and I don’t mind that Harry and his pals hate him cause most do except Draco who is professor Snape favorite student

Terrific Read. As a huge fan of Harry Potter, I admit I have put off reading this particular novel. I felt too nostalgic about the originals because I grew up with them. I have recently reread one through seven, and was pleasantly surprised to see all the things I missed as a child, not being able to understand certain things. As an adult, I have found a new appreciation for Harry Potter and all of his trials and tribulations. I have heard from many people about their thoughts on this novel and I admit, it made me reticent to read it. Despite that however, I felt I had to read this; the eighth novel. I am very glad I did. If you can appreciate that, Harry Potter and friends, won’t behave the same as they did when they were teenagers because they are adults with jobs and kids now. That changes who you are. Is anyone reading this the same as they were when they were a teenager? I think not. As they say often, “Love is blind”.

Okay. It was alright. :(

Terrific. The book was splendid indeed

This is the BEST book ever. GUYS STOP HATING IT! It’s a play script for goodness sake! And so what if voldie has a daughter?! I think it’s really awesome 👏!Great job JK Rowling! My info just 4 fun 😉 House: Slytheren Patronus: fox :3 Wand: oak with Phoenix feather core

Why are the other comments saying this is trash. This book is good but every body is saying it is bad so when I tried it it was the bestest book I have ever read so stop saying it is bad at least give is a 3 rating

Amazing. I read it and I think it was amazing.

It was not a Harry Potter book. This book was more of a Sci-fi headed fantasy that used characters from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I understand that it was a play, but it felt like it did not hold up to the standard at by the other 7 books.

ron. nobody appreciates ron weasly enough like he is a great actor and was one of harry's first friend House: griffindor Wand: Spruce oak with a parrot feather ( made up ? yes but cool? also yes)

This book is GREAT!. I think this book is one of the BEST books in the series!!! If you EVER say bad things about it, EVERY time you do, I will give you reasons why it IS good!!!!! I LOVE it!!!!! I agree with “HarryPotterSuperFan”!!! HarryPotterLover!!!

Truly incredible!!!!. I truly enjoyed this book and that book is the best place in what I’m quietly reading it!!!! This book is the best one!!!!

Shoes. I like my shoes more

Only one little thing.... So the dark lord has a child BUT Bella trip is married so why doesn’t Bella’s husband get mad? Only thing (Draco Malloy is the best)bye

?. Is this real.?cause I’m 9 and I really want to see the play but it’s to expensive so respond is this real

I HATE IT. My friend and i are big potter fans, but this book is... im sorry to say this but im sure that J.K rowling has written this book just because she needed the money (so is my friend). We didn't expect J.K rowling to end a book by getting married and children and etc. AND HOW IS HARRY POTTER 37!? How is that even possible when he is 11 in the first harry potter book!? Sorry dear writers, i don't want to be rude, and i know how much time you have spent writing this book, but its not even worth A CENT. Why should harry grow up? Why cant he stay a teenager? This isnt real life. No need to grow up, or get married... i dont understand... just tell me WHY!? I didnt expect you... J.K rowling! I thought you were the best writer in the whole world, BUT NOT ANYMORE.😭 Dont spend your precious money for this 🤬🤬🤬 book. I liked the other harry potter series but id rather not to know what happens at the end if harry is a grown-up and adult person... 👎 sorry,... i would rate 0 stars if it was possible.

Delphi. I liked that the put a family tree Delphi was misunderstood, but she didn’t need to act that way she just wanted to see her father 🔚Delphi the Murderer

Why?. Why is everyone giving this such good ratings? As far as I’m concerned, this book never existed. Don’t read it. Totally not worth it. It just messes with how one sees the first 7 books. It makes no sense whatsoever!! The plot is bad, confusing and rushed.

THEY MADE A MALFOY NICE!!!!!!. Scorpius is so nice! Even Draco seems to be getting a bit nice! love the book sooooo much!!!!!!✨✨🪄🪄🪄

YALL!!!!. Y’all, this isn’t written by J.K Rowling, it is a play written by Jack Thorne who based the play on the original book series written by J.K Rowling djdjjs JUST SO EVERYONE IS AWARE— this is not J.K Rowling’s writing :)

Terrible Book (Warning Spoilers). This book had some good parts and bad parts like for example Cedric doesn’t die but instead he turns into a Death Eater which isn’t Cedric’s personality and what Hufflepuffs would never dream of.

WHY DOES THIS BOOK HAVE A 4.2?! IT SHOULD HAVE A 0.5!!!. I read it and I’m kinda wishing I didn’t…$$$ wasted, like I was totally excited and everything and then it goes downhill from there like an out-of-control snowball, Albus caught in snowball, Scorpius caught in snowball, Rose caught in snowball til she apparently disappeared, like bro, not cool, this isn’t KotLC where u fade without a nexus, 😒 any way all I’m saying is don’t waste you’re money 💵 borrow it from the library 📚 and if you don’t like it then read Keeper of the Lost Cities instead, also, the whole plot was not solid and was just a complete mess, just freaking ridiculous, J.K.Rowling y did u make this like y?????? Sorry for wasting your time peace out ✌️ Quote unquote Kaytlyn from Jurassic World Dominion, only HP theme… “Cedric Diggory. Late Harry Potter’s fourth year, shoulda stayed there.” !!!!!! THE DESCRIPTION SAID THIS BOOK WAS A GLOBAL BESTSELLER!!!!! i swear, that Star Wars parody featuring Family Guy wasn’t nearly this bad.

Intense.. Enjoyed the happy ending, even through these horrible things Harry and the others went through.

Reply. I just wanted to say to Eric wood this one thing: J.K. Rowling herself helped write this book.

BIG POTTERHEAD. So i liked the book it was really good but some of these things don’t make much sense and I do love Harry Potter but how could Voldemort have a kid I know about bellatrix but he isn’t really a human

Love it! But one minor problem!. It’s a great book but it doesn’t make so much sense: 1. Voldemort has... a daughter! Seriously! Voldemort shouldn’t love anyone! He’s... Voldemort! 2. Dumbledore, who is usually kind and understanding, is acting so stuck-up and annoying! What’s up with that?! 3. Why did it have to be a play? Make it a movie and normal book! That’s all the bad things I have to say! Now for the good: IM A CRAZY HARRY POTTER FAN AND IM ALSO A SLYTHERIN! Pls don’t think I’m weird for liking the best house at Hogwarts. I think the cursed child is a very good book. I read it and all the twists and turns were too much for me! I gtg because I have to watch the Deathly Hallows now. Bye! Ps: I’m sure jk Rowling feels so bad becuz of all the criticism you give her. I LIKE THIS BOOK A LOT AND IM STIIL A HUGE FAN OF ROWLING. HATERS BACK OFF BECAUSE JK ROWLING (AND SHANNON MESSENGER, AUTHOR OF KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES) ARE THE BEST AUTHORS IN THE HISTORY OF AUTHORS!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Why?!?!?. Why all the haters? This was a fine book. Not as good as the original HP series but I still enjoyed it.

Ehhhhh....... This is NOT because it’s a script. I just think this story was not well done at all. Bland villain, same old story as the original series, just not compelling at all. This “sequel” did not (no pun intended) capture the same magic as the original series. It’s completely unnecessary, and doesn’t resolve anything in the end. Please do not make this into a film, I really don’t want to see it. If there is a sequel in development, please make it a different story.

Harry Potter and the cursed child. I would give this -5 stars if it was an option. Reads like the worst fan fiction you’ve ever read. Awful.

Sucks. It totally ruined Harry Potter for me, all the the characters had totally different personalities. Wish I had never read it

Un rosé une rouge. Bonjour melondou les citrons de une pêche merci de rouge va un rosé la vert la France la Québec Montréal va Paris Vert de rouge à Paris

Harry Potter and the Cursed child BY Louis-Jacob. Good, but not good like the others stories of the saga. I want to view the movie before judge this story.

Univiyh. CrcJo snt how uuihyihuihjnk xx deep ihhbbn

StandWithHarryPotter. An absolute diarrhea dumpster fire. This spits on everything previously established and then takes a big dump on it. If I could rate this a Zero star I would.

Just a cash grab. Did not like it at all not like other books just away to make money

Perfect ending. This book was great I personally really enjoyed it as an ending to the 7 books previously. It was a wonderful way to say goodbye to these characters we have learned to love over the years, but also it was nice to be able to imagine that the story still continues long after the final page ends.
