Books

Add a comment By Stacey

On Wednesday, Pottermore announced a new book in the Harry Potter world to millions of excited fans. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, soon to be a play in London will also be released as a book, after the opening of the production.

Here's what we know about the book so far:

Readers and moviegoers last saw Harry waving off his children at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts, in the epilogue to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child picks up after that moment and is staged in two parts, due to the ‘epic nature of the story’. – Pottermore

The Eighth Story. Nineteen Years Later.
