Overview
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (2016) is a two-part play written by Jack Thorne, based on an original story collaboratively created by J. K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Thorne himself. Set in the universe of the Harry Potter books penned by J. K. Rowling, the play follows events occurring 19 years after the epilogue of the seventh book, The Deathly Hallows (2007); the story revolves around Albus Potter, the second son and middle child of Harry Potter, and Albus’s relationship with his famous father.
Thorne is an award-winning English screenwriter and playwright. His portfolio includes the television adaptation of the His Dark Materials series, the first book of which is The Golden Compass (1995); the screenplay of the movie Wonder; a new adaptation of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens for Broadway; and the creation of the television drama National Treasure, the latter of which won him a BAFTA award. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is among his award-winning works; at the 2017 Laurence Olivier Awards, the London production received a record-breaking level of nominations, of which it took home a record-breaking nine awards, including Best New Play.
