Storyline

Set 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts in the Second Wizarding War, Harry Potter is the sequel to the beloved book series in the form of a play. It continues the story right where the epilogue ends.

Being Harry Potter has never been easy, and it doesn't get any better now that he is a stressed-out Ministry of Magic employee, a husband, and the parent of three school-age kids. Albus, Harry's youngest son, must contend with the burden of a family heritage he never desired as his father Harry struggles with a past that won't remain where it belongs.

The play is an exhilarating treat for Harry Potter fans. The production is imaginative, dynamic, fast-paced and tight. The special effects are wonderdul - effective, beautifully blended with the compelling story-telling, and adding just the right pinch of Harry Potter magic. Each act ends on a breathtaking cliff edge. We did not feel the (nearly) 6 hours pass and wanted more. A true credit to the astonishing J.K. Rowling and the creative team behind the production. 'All the hype' is well deserved.
