What a super experience! When I booked I didn't realize how much fun it would be. Not only was it in one beautiful theater, but my seat was close to the action. The actors, the music, the graphics, the surprises were absolutely amazing! Scorpius was a joy and I heard many people later saying his character was the most fun! Every other actor was right on and I was astounded at how well the whole show was. Also, I loved meeting new friends and have the break for dinner to enjoy with them! Thank you for a splendid experience!

The SFX were amazing and the cast were excellent, especially Scorpius and Ron. My 14 year old son said he hated the theatre before this and I saw him laughing and emotional and fully engaged for the whole thing. Afterwards he gave it 10/10. Also the staff in the theatre were kind, professional and very helpful. My son got vertigo in our original seats and they moved us down to the gallery explaining the payment and moving us quickly and smoothly.

My wife and i were pleasantly surprized by this play. Its not just a play for children, much like the Harry Potter books are engaging for adults as well The theater seating made line of sight excellent. The refreshments on each level were quick and easy to navigate. We made a reservation at a nearby restaurant for the 2 hours between the 2 parts of the play. We were able to enjoy dinner and return to the theater without rushing,.

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?

Critics reviews

This performance was incredible. It's been a very long time since I've been to the theatre and I am obsessed with Harry Potter. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a time where I got to wait for the books to be released. So to be able to be here and fly over from Sydney to London to watch Harry Potter and the first dream come true. It was everything that I could've wanted even more whilst I own the book/screenplay I've never read it so it was such a beautiful surprise to not know the story and be able to see it live

Really loved the perfomance ! The story itself isn't my favorite part, but the visual effects and the actors performance ! it's totally worth seeing, firmly recommend (though careful while choosing seats on the last balcony we had some difficulty seeing everything)

Spezialeffekte waren sehr gut gemacht. Story war etwas zu kompliziert. Warum wurde das Ende nicht offiziell ein offensichtlich homosexuelles Ende gezeigt?
