Jan 28, 2016 https://www.therowlinglibrary.com/2016/01/25/at-least-two-publishers-after-the-cursed-child/ Story by J.K Rolwing. Script by Jack Thorne. Being released as a play first as well as a book. And you can bet WB is going to turn this into the movie. Synopsis 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. http://www.harrypottertheplay.com/ Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne. It is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series ALSO! Don't forget about the new Spin Off/Prequel film debuting in November, Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them. Written by Rowling, the film is a Prequel that takes place in New York during the roaring twenties. The film follows Newt Scamander on a brand new adventure. It is the first in a planned trilogy. Trailer 2: Trailer 1: UPDATE Fantastic Beasts will also be published as a script book the day after its release In theatres. J.K Rowling also has plans to take the Cursed Child play abroad so we may very well see it on broad way here in the states. SPOILERS for Part 1 The first preview version of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Part One premiered on Tuesday. part 2 will be shown on Thursday. Below I will post a quick summary of the plot. No idea where things will go for part 2 however. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR HP8 (this is the plot line for Part 1. Really just bullet points and doesnt really do it justice) The play picks up right after Harry waves his children off to Hogwarts. Albus is sorted into Slytherin and becomes best buds with Draco's son Scorpius Malfoy. Meanwhile Amos Diggory asks Harry to bring his son back to life by using the time Turner in his office to save him. Harry refuses. Being their fathers sons, Albus and Malfoy Jr. Sneak into Harrys office (with the help of their friend Delphi) and go back in time to the night of Voldemorts return. They save Cedric but Harry is killed in the resulting battle. The time line is changed and Albus is erased. Malfoy Jr. returns to the future to find that Voldemort rules the world and Umbridge is the headmaster of Hogwarts Part 2 plot http://victorkrvm.tumblr.com This is the plot from Reddit leaked after the play premiered. If anything turns out to be untrue I will correct it as more info comes out.
Jan 28, 2016 Yessir. The Eighth story. I'm pumped. Said to follow Harry and his son. My prediction based on the synopsis is that Harrys son could become a dark wizard.
Jan 28, 2016 i wrote like a few pages of this kind of story when the last book came out haha. it was like where the epilogue left off with harry's kids getting to school
Jan 28, 2016 Nah written by J.K Rowling and two other dudes. The story however is completely original and from J.K Rowling.
Jan 28, 2016 the article you linked says "Remember it is not a J.K. Rowling’s work, given the play is written by Jack Thorne and he will probably be listed as the author – which is an important fact to be considered in the negotiations."
Jan 28, 2016 Yes but do some research and you will find the story is still from the mind of J.K Rowling. EDIT: And she had complete creative control and was always there for writing it. She is also involved in the direction of the play.
Jan 28, 2016 Did you start with the first book and then duck out because it was to kiddy? I get that. Maybe read the wiki for books 1 and 2 and start with 3. Book 4 is when it drops off and goes full on adult.
