We raced into July this week and summer is finally here, but there’s no sign of things slowing down for our Potter stars, with busy accounts of book releases, encounters, and much more.

And did you know that the play ISN’T a prequel? Jo continued last week’s tweeting storm to remind us all that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child wasn’t in fact a prequel:
.@CNBCWorld It's not a prequel. It really, really isn't a prequel. Not a prequel. Not at all prequelly. It is an anti-prequel. #NotAPrequel

The story of #CursedChild should be considered canon, though. @jackthorne, John Tiffany (the director) and I developed it together.
