The story was pretty good. The show all in all brilliant made. Especially the visual effects were unexpected in a lot of moments. I'd definitely recommend watching the play. Little side information. We sat on the balcony pretty high above, be aware if you're afraid of high!. These seats might not be for your then. (Balcony J 26) Also the staircase is quite small. The hall itself is amazing and so beautiful.

Performance was enchanting! The theater was nice and cool on one of the hottest days of my visit. I love that the show was in 2 parts, it allowed for extra character development and moments together. The actors were phenomenal andy focus was captured the whole time. Highly recommend!

A must see if you are a fan of HP! Great show, great actors, great effects and gentle staff. Seats are a bit tight, so if you are tall, your legs will feel uncomfortable.

J.K. Rowling’s eighth story leaps from page to stage, reuniting beloved characters and introducing new heroes in this family-friendly London play phenomenon.

The most awarded play in Olivier history with 9 wins, plus 6 Tonys and a Grammy nod, its London run is helmed by John Tiffany with music by Imogen Heap.

Time travel, jaw-dropping illusions, and intricate staging bring alternate realities to life. Book your Harry Potter and the Cursed Child London tickets for a theatrical twist on wizarding history.

At the Palace Theatre, this two-part adventure remains one of the West End’s most magical adventure, praised by critics as "a theatrical blockbuster" (Evening Standard) since 2016.

The story

Set 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry is now an overworked Ministry employee and father of three. His youngest son, Albus, struggles under the weight of the Potter legacy. When past and present collide, they’re thrown into a time-bending journey that reveals unsettling truths about friendship, family, and destiny. Darkness lurks where no one expects it… but from where?

We were sitting in the cheapest seats—almost no legroom, exposed pipes, high up and steep—but....what an amazing experience. We enjoyed it for five hours! We’d decided beforehand that we’d skip the second part if those seats really weren’t comfortable, but after the first part, of course we wanted to go back. The special effects, the show—it was all fantastic!

Absolutely everything! The atmosphere, the music, the acting, the staging, everything was incredible! As a Harry Potter fan, I felt like I was part of the adventure at Hogwarts. Even a few weeks later, I am still amazed by what I saw and the experience. I will definitely go back to see it again!
