Fans eager for the new script “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” can enjoy special Ministry of Magic-inspired breakfast goodies when they stop by to pick up the book at Eagle Harbor Book Company between 9 and 11 a.m. Sunday, July 31.
“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” is a two-part West End stage play written by Jack Thorne, J.K. Rowling and John Tiffany. Previews began at the Palace Theatre in London in June and it is scheduled to officially premiere on Saturday, July 30.
The book is actually the rehearsal script, not a novel, but acts as the eighth official installment in the Harry Potter book series. This latest chapter takes place about 20 years after the last book.
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 and 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.
