“Cursed Child” Wins Six Tony Awards!

by Gretchen Roesch · June 10, 2018

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child received ten nominations for this year’s 72nd Tony Awards, which honor the best of Broadway. The Tony Awards aired live on CBS on June 10 and were hosted by previous nominees Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban. During the show, Bareilles used a wand to cast the Wand-Lighting Charm and the Fire-Making Spell (Lumos and Incendio, respectively), before cast members came out and used magic to replace Groban with Jamie Parker, wearing a suit and Harry’s scar, who introduced presenter Patti LuPone. Cursed Child won six awards!

Potter Quote

“Well – it’s just that you seem to be laboring under the delusion that I am going to – what is the phrase? – come quietly. I am afraid I am not going to come quietly at all, Cornelius. I have absolutely no intention of being sent to Azkaban. I could break out, of course – but what a waste of time, and frankly, I can think of a whole host of things I would rather be doing.”
