About Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Set 19 years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the story follows an adult Harry Potter working as Head of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic. His youngest son, Albus Severus Potter, struggles to live up to his father’s legendary legacy. When Albus befriends Scorpius Malfoy—son of Harry’s former rival Draco—the two boys embark on a dangerous adventure involving time travel that puts the past, present, and future at risk.
