In what comes as a surprise to no one, the script book for “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts I & II” has topped bestseller charts since its announcement yesterday.
Only a couple of weeks ago, we were cautiously optimistic that “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” would be published as a book sooner than we had originally hoped, meaning that those fans unable to make the trip to London to see the show wouldn’t be missing out on reading the next chapter of Harry’s (and Albus’s) story. Now, we have confirmation – the full script of “Cursed Child” WILL be published this summer!
Actor Jamie Parker, who will be taking on the role of an older Harry in the upcoming stage production “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, and former “Potter” alumna Katie Leung (Cho Chang) have spoken out about the casting of actress Noma Dumezweni in the role of Hermione.
There’s already been one big piece of news from this weekend’s Celebration of Harry Potter in Orlando, but surprises for fans aren’t over yet! Today, a special sneak preview of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” was released at the Celebration and online!
Today, the Rowling Library has reported that two publishers have bid for the rights to print “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” as a physical book, which would no doubt thrill fans around the world who are unable to make it to London to see the play.
The Internet has been abuzz since last month when the actors cast as Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the stage play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” were announced, and most of the attention has focused on the fact that the actress cast as Hermione, Noma Dumezweni, is black. Dumezweni spoke to the “Standard” recently in response to her critics, saying that though she had previously experienced some “unconscious” prejudice while auditioning for roles, never before had anyone outwardly questioned her ability to play a character because of the color of her skin.
