Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
- By KENNE HOFFMAN
Use the floo network, grab a port key or jump on your broom. It doesn’t matter how you get there, but you can’t miss seeing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the famous Hollywood Pantages Theater. Hold onto the edge of your seat, this spellbinding spectacular will whisk you back to Hogwarts and beyond your imagination for a one-of-a-kind journey that is everything (and more) than you could hope for. Written by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was marketed as the “eighth story” of Harry Potter, taking place after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. While Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a play about a new generation of wizards, it features many fan-favorites including the Harry Potter trio, (John Skelly as Harry, Matt Mueller as Ron, and Ebony Blake as Hermione).
Set 19 years after the events of Deathly Hollows, the play opens with Albus (Harry’s son played by Emmet Smith) getting ready to board the Hogwarts Express for his first year. He befriends Draco Malfoy’s son Scorpius (Aiden Close) on the train. The two travel through time to fix past wrongs, including the death of Cedric Diggory. Their actions could change the Wizarding World forever. It premiered in London in 2016 and New York in 2018 and won six Tony Awards including Best Play, Direction, Scene, Lighting, Sound and Costume Design.
This mind-blowing race through time has spectacular spells and an epic battle with the most mystifying theatrical magic ever seen on stage. Playing February 15 thru June 22, 2025, at the Hollywood Pantages.
