The new Harry Potter book is flapping through the windows of the world like an urgent owl delivering a magical message.
The text for the play, already a critical and commercial hit on London’s West End, has blown past presale records on Amazon and is expected to be Barnes and Noble’s biggest book of the year.
The eighth story in the Harry Potter series, and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage, is one play presented in two parts.
The director of Harry Potter And The Cursed Child says he would not be anxious if Daniel Radcliffe came to see the show – because he thinks the actor would be “really pleased” by his character’s evolution. The store is also accepting pre-orders. There will be a drawing for one copy of the book during the launch party.
The celebration runs from 11 p.m.to 2 a.m.at Bunch of Grapes, wehre there will be a costume contest, games, treats, and more. It opens ahead of the November movie version of Rowling’s Potter spinoff book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and follows the opening in April of a second Harry Potter attraction within a theme park, this time at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. “If there was any way I could afford to fly to London and see the play, I would”.
