Harry Potter and the Cursed Child extends West End spell: More magic till April ‘25

Expecto Patronum! Wizards and witches (okay, Muggles too) across the world rejoice as the London run of the award-winning Harry Potter production is set to continue its spell for another year. The Palace Theatre will continue to welcome fans to the world of potions and charms for an extended period till April 2025. Being the only stage adaptation of the unparalleled franchise, the play has summoned the fandom for over eight years since its debut in 2016. 

Hogwarts in the 21st Century

Platform 9 ¾ is open for business, with a new generation of spell-casters ready to battle mysterious forces inside Hogwarts, arguably, the most famous school in the world. Nearly two decades after the three friends saved the Wizarding World, Harry, Ron, and Hermoine band together to take on new challenges amidst massive life changes. ‘One of the most defining pop culture events of the decade’, the play has been entertaining audiences with its ‘spellbinding’ theatrics, ‘time-turning’ adventures, and ‘big-hearted’ visuals. 

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child picks up 19 years after the final battle in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The Boy Who Lived, now a Ministry of Magic employee, navigates the aftermath of his past life while Harry’s son, Albus, grapples with the legacy of the Potter name. 

A phenomenon like no other

If you are new to the universe, prepare to build a firm belief in magic. The play is a two-part journey that will apparate you right into the infamous land of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Fans typically see both parts on the same day (matinee and evening) but it can also be enjoyed for a longer time, over two consecutive evenings. Through the years, the nearly 5-hour production has given fans enough reason to go all-out for the experience. To make the most of your first, or nth time, to the theatrical land of spells and wands, follow the tips below -

• Book in advance: Given the popularity of the show, tickets can sell out quickly, often months in advance. Check the updated events calendar to make sure you don’t miss your desired dates.
• Watch the movies - There’s never a bad time to fall back in love with the adorable antiques of the students while they fight You-Know-Who. 
• Bring out the capes - Viewers at the show never shy away from a little extravagance. Whether it’s dusty brooms, the trusty old hat, or the classic red and yellow.

Whether you’re a self-proclaimed disciple of the school or just a regular muggle, you are welcome to experience the life-changing world of flying wizards
