Harry Potter is coming to the West End! But how did the Twittersphere react?

It's true????? Harry Potter, the play. Feeling a little light-headed right now. And wondering does our JKR EVER sleep???

Am I the only person who doesn't like the fact that JK Rowling is planning a new Harry Potter stage show 🙁 #Scrooge

In quite the muted fashion it would seem! Clearly they were all too busy prepping for Christmas. There is of course a lot to do.

After all that, the Potter alumni still had time to squeeze in a few viewing/reading recommendations should you need some time out over the festive period.
