I could be completely wrong in this, but I feel like if I went to see it, there’s going to be a lot of “Harry Potter” fans there in the audience obviously and would that then become a thing?

What does a Ministry-of-Magic-employed Harry Potter look like?
Albus actor Sam Clemmett has been a big hit, as has Anthony Boyle as Draco Malfoy’s son Scorpius. Allow them to color your Cursed Child fanfic for the rest of your days. “My kids are not as insane for him as I am, but the younger one is really into Harry, too”, Guthrie said.
As International Business Times notes, the release of “The Cursed Child” is the special rehearsal edition script, meaning it might not match up exactly with what’s on stage in London. “You can’t turn up at the Palace Theatre and not get caught up in the excitement”.
Bookstores are bringing back the beloved midnight-release parties from the O.G.
“Pottermania” will reach fever pitch as the Cursed Child opening in London is immediately followed by the midnight release of the play’s script book, allowing fans across the globe to find out what happens next to the boy wizard and his friends.
Since Cursed Child will be released on July 31 – aka Rowling’s and Harry Potter’s birthdays – this year’s celebrations should be extra festive.
Barnes & Noble’s staff plans to go all out for the party, Fischer says.
In the evening, the store will host a party beginning at 9 p.m., with games, food and what Droke-Dickinson calls “activities for rabid “Harry Potter” fans”, including challenges in which fans can earn points for their houses, with prizes for the winning house. For everyone else, book publisher Scholastic has created an easily searchable database for all witches and wizards looking to be among the first to snag their copy.
According to staff at the bookshop, customers have pre-ordered over 1000 copies of the book. From 10 a.m.to 2 p.m., Potter fans may use a “sorting hat ” to discover which Hogwarts’ house they belong with, or snap a few frames at a wizard’s photo booth, or watch the brewing of butterbeer, a wizarding concoction with a butterscotch-like flavor.
