Harry Potter and the Curse Child

[Poetic Chaos]

The stage production currently being produced and written by Rowling herself has been confirmed to be a sequel and not a prequel. Will be set 19 years after the last novel. Movie can't be far behind. Should Radcliffe star in the stage production? Thoughts?

 

[Galactus10]

Dunno how I will be able to stomach hearing Albus Severus or James Sirius or even worse,


Scorpius Malfoy.

Man, as much as I liked the book series, I loathed that damn epilogue

 

[Octoberist]

What it's a sequel?

 

[Boy Scout]

It's Cursed* Child.

And yes, it's a sequel.

 

[O_B_Juan]

Are parts 1 and 2 the same play or different plays?

 

[titansupes]

Wouldn't be surprised if a movie eventually comes from this, even if it's another decade or so away. She seems to be circling it with all the short stories and other in-universe movies etc.

 

[Black Narcissus]

This Martha Stewart lady should just write a goddamn book and stop teasing her fans.

 

[sueb1863]

Trying to picture kids being able to sit through *two* live plays...I suppose they'll do it as a big stage spectacle with lots of special effects to keep their attention, like the Disney shows.

She is milking that cow delicately.

That sounds kinda inevitable, imo.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I am really excited about this. Just hoping Hermione and the rest of the living crew is is in it. I also agree the movie seem inevitable.

 

[Sawyer]

I'd rather get a book out of this than a movie.

 

[Marvolo]

I'd rather get a book out of this than a movie.

Me too.

 

[Sawyer]

It just feels like a more realistic expectation for Rowling to convert this to prose than to get the old gang back together and make a film out of it. Especially considering the ages of the characters.

My guess is it will be a book.

 

[Mysteryman]

it's a two part play.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

How exactly does that work? How do you see both parts?

 

[sueb1863]

Back in the early 1980s, the Royal Shakespeare Company put on a play based on a Dickens novel called "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby" which was eight and a half hours long and done in two parts. They offered the parts on consecutive evenings or you could see both parts in one day with a dinner break. (Despite the length and the then-unheard-of $100 ticket price when it came to Broadway, the show was a smash hit and sold out its entire run).

I imagine they'll do it the same way here.

 

[Mysteryman]

you can see both parts in one day .
But you have to pay for them separately ,I THINK its $15 for both plays.

Looked it up and that is exactly what they are are doing.

 

[antonydelfini]

I think after the Fantastic Beasts movies, we'll get movie adaptations of the two part stage play.

 

[Snow Queen]

I think after the Fantastic Beasts movies, we'll get movie adaptations of the two part stage play.

Except it'll be padded out to a trilogy.

 

[Lord]

Fantastic Beasts is going to be "at least a trilogy", so if the films keep being very successful, they might last much more than just three films, would buy them more time till adaptin cursed child to cinema.

 

[psylockolussus]

That would be cool!

I love Harry Potter movies!

 

[king666]

Yes, a million times.
But still, I feel like she would've just announced the book (if she really wanted to write it). Also, with Fantastic Beasts coming out in 2016, I think we might eventually get a movie based on this.
