J.K. Rowling reveals synopsis for “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”October 24, 2015 - 11:38 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - J.K. Rowling has revealed the official synopsis for the stage play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, TheWrap reports. The play is considered the eighth installment in the Harry Potter franchise and will focus on Harry’s youngest child, Albus. The announcement came Friday, October 23 on the Pottermore website. The official synopsis reads: It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places. The play will be split into two parts “due to the epic nature of the story,” according to the Pottermore team. It will feature a cast of 30 actors, to be announced at a later date. ‘The story only exists because the right group of people came together with a brilliant idea about how to present Harry Potter on stage,” Rowling said. “I’m confident that when audiences see ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ they will understand why we chose to tell this story in this way.” “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” is due to hit the stage in London’s West End in the summer of 2016.
