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.
My Thoughts
I was fortunate enough to be able to go see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London during the summer holidays. I was a little apprehensive because I had read the play and all the controversy around it. After seeing the play I can honestly say DON'T READ IT!!! The play is magical and incredible in a way that doesn't come across from just reading the script.
The main thing I loved about it was the characters and I guess the actors who played them. I thought they all were exactly what I envisioned them to be like. Especially Draco who was my favourite character in the books and portrayed phenomenally in this play. It really understood the depth of the characters and didn't treat them like caricatures of themselves like I feared.
The staging of the play was brilliant. It truly felt like actual magic was happening in front f you. Things happened that you felt sure were impossible. And there were movement scenes that were absolutely stunning to match the equally breath-taking soundtrack. If you like to write or read to classical music I definitely recommend the cursed child soundtrack.
The relationship between Albus and Severus was absolutely played as romantic by the actors we saw and the plot actually felt very realistic and plausible. I think seeing this play really taught me how you can really change a script depending on acting and directing.
Overall, This was absolutely incredible. Insanely expensive but incredibly. If you can I would definitely recommend going to see it.
