‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ excitement hits metro Detroit

“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” has been in previews for the past few weeks with reviews being released earlier this week.

The store threw Harry Potter parties for the release of each book throughout the ’00s, so Jackie Braeger bundled up her four children and took them to the midnight event.

It was written by original Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling in collaboration with English theatre writers Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, with Thorne adapting it into a two-part stage play.

The mastermind behind the fantasy books revealed “Harry is done now”, at a gala opening of the stage production, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts 1 & 2 in London.

Dillard was very much looking forward to both the pre-release event and the book’s release.

“I’ve got tickets for the show in October so I’m not sure if I’m going to read it before I see the play”.

In New York City, the Strand Book Store expected more than 400 people on Saturday night, spokeswoman Whitney Hu said.

The Harry Potter books have sold more than 450 million copies since 1997 and been adapted into eight films. It is set 19 years after the final Potter book and is presented in two parts over five hours. “And now, being able to be an adult and see Harry’s story is something really special”.

Reviews have been glowing, with Daily Telegraph critic Dominic Cavendish saying that “British theatre hasn’t known anything like it for decades”.

Westbrook said everyone is excited and anxious about the new release from J.K. Rowling.

It didn’t bother him, either, that “Cursed Child” is in play format.

Whether that last as the flood of copies of the play get out is anyone’s guess, but it will not be a surprise to see many put up sections of the work and discuss the ins and outs of it endlessly.

“It was magical. I sat on the edge of my seat the whole time”, said Kylie Cruikshamsks, 32, a big Potter fan.
