Harry Potter and The Cursed Child at Ohio Theatre

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the concoction of Jack Thorne and showing in Columbus this fall. He wrote the original play with some direction from the original series’ author J.K. Rowling and beloved theater director John Tiffany. The original Jack Thorne script initially only contained a modest two acts. But the creators expanded it to four for an compelling theatrical experience that audiences would never forget.

This Harry Potter play adaptation begins when Albus Potter meets Scorpios Malfoy on their way to Hogwarts. While Albus fails to meet his father’s heroic reputation, Scorpios stumbles on his own biased distinction as a death eater’s offspring or the circulating rumors of being Voldemort’s child. 

Each character grapples with familiar maturity tests like molding a sense of self beyond their patriarchs’ identities and correcting the previous generation’s sins. They hope to set in motion a better future for themselves and their cohorts. Their method involves using a time turner so that they can go back to the past and keep Cedric Diggory — one of Voldemort’s targets — alive. 

Can modifying the past correct the problems of the present? Or will it make things worse for the dynamic duo? The Harry Potter play promises to answer these questions during its nearly three-hour runtime. The audience can grab refreshments and hydrate during a brief intermission at the performance’s half-way point.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child claimed international acclaim with performances in Melbourne, Australia, Hamburg, Germany, and Tokyo, Japan. It has delighted fans far and wide since its 2016 premier at the Palace Theatre in London, England. Each production successfully infuses original scores from indie-music darling Imogen Heap.
