Mages and muggles rubbed shoulders yesterday in the hopes of being the first to delve into J. K. Rowling’s latest magical offering.

Almost ten years since the final book J.K. Rowling wrote for the franchise, a new installment, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child“, dropped at midnight.

Does the stage play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” – and the publication of its script – herald a new phase of stories?

“[Harry] goes on a very big journey during these two plays and, then, yeah, I think we’re done”, she said at the premiere, according to Radio Times.

“It’s great to get a new generation of kids and the parents who remember when they were kids now it’s been that long since we started all this process and get them all involved and you know just insane about reading”, Hermann said.

A 24-year-old student, Samantha Chua, wearing a Harry Potter-themed sweater, said she had been waiting outside the fourth-floor bookstore since 5 am along with her boyfriend.

Coming nearly 10 years after the ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, ‘ fans have been eager to find out what Harry Potter has been up to after all these years and all grown up.

The book is not a novel and isn’t even written by Rowling.

No one had to use the “Alohomora” unlocking charm to make the gates of the local book store open.

A general view shows The Palace Theatre where the Harry Potter and The Cursed Child parts One and Two play is being staged, in London, Britain July 30, 2016.

“We had more customers than we expected, and on Sunday we opened at 9am for the main launch event, which has also had a great buzz about it”.

Harriet Hayter, 26, a senior bookseller at Waterstones, grew up with the Harry Potter series. “And Harry and Albus don’t see eye to eye on – well, pretty much everything”.

Heck, I’d love to see a spinoff about Rose Granger-Weasely.
