Following the cast announcement, fans flocked to social media to share their excitement, with one saying: “So exciting! Can’t wait to see it.”

Harry Potter and The Cursed Child takes place nearly two decades after the events of the final book in the Harry Potter series, The Deathly Hallows.
It sees Harry’s son struggle with his family’s legacy as he begins his own journey at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, while Ministry of Magic employee Harry grapples with events of the past.
Taking place over two parts, the past and present in Harry’s worlds collide as uncomfortable truths are revealed and darkness emerges once more.
The show, which was written by J.K Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, has since gone on to critical acclaim and has launched a number of productions across the world – including in New York, San Francisco, Melbourne, Hamburg, Tokyo and Toronto.
Harry Potter And The Cursed Child is at The Palace Theatre, London.
Tickets are on sale now.
