Show itself, best one i've seen so far. A bit too long, but worth it. I had good seats, expensive, but good. Seats are comftorable, people were polite, there was no childish bursts trough the whole show. At the end of the show, someone behind me was yelling at me and told me that it is not ok to sit in the middle because no one else can behind me can see the show. How am i suppost to know she can't see? Whole show that you don't say anything, and then you yell at me at the end. And what does sitting in the middle mean? I just moved my head a bit because i didn't see the stage of the girl who leaned on the fence (because she couldn't see otherwise). Whole experiance beside this was mega. Will do it again for sure when i visit London again. Greetings from Croatia :)

I doubt that I can add anything new to what others have already said but I'll "give it a waive". My, like so many others, favorite character in the series is Severus Snape. He's the most interesting and complicated. So finally getting the reward, as a viewer, of seeing him honored for his sacrifice was so gratifying. Yes, he was utterly flawed, but that's the point. We all are terribly flawed and yet we don't have to be defined completely by what we lack. It was beautifully written and executed by the cast.

The dark atmosphere and dim lighting give you the impression of being in Hogwarts Castle. The actors truly convey the feelings of joy, fear, and anguish—true professionals. What moved me most was the relationship between the parents and their children (Harry, Draco, Albus, and Scorpius). As a father myself, I understand the difficulties of not always knowing how to talk to your children, but even so, you would give your life for them.

J.K. Rowling’s eighth story leaps from page to stage, reuniting beloved characters and introducing new heroes in this family-friendly London play phenomenon.

The most awarded play in Olivier history with 9 wins, plus 6 Tonys and a Grammy nod, its London run is helmed by John Tiffany with music by Imogen Heap.

Time travel, jaw-dropping illusions, and intricate staging bring alternate realities to life. Book your Harry Potter and the Cursed Child London tickets for a theatrical twist on wizarding history.

At the Palace Theatre, this two-part adventure remains one of the West End’s most magical adventure, praised by critics as "a theatrical blockbuster" (Evening Standard) since 2016.

The story

Set 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry is now an overworked Ministry employee and father of three. His youngest son, Albus, struggles under the weight of the Potter legacy. When past and present collide, they’re thrown into a time-bending journey that reveals unsettling truths about friendship, family, and destiny. Darkness lurks where no one expects it… but from where?

Critics reviews

“Astonishing stagecraft and storytelling. This isn’t just theatre — it’s wizardry.”

– Time Out London

“Unmissable. A dazzling continuation of the Harry Potter saga that lives and breathes on stage.”

– The Independent

What made Harry Potter and the Cursed Child unforgettable was how real and emotional it felt. It wasn’t just a theatre show — it felt like being pulled back into a world I grew up with, but in a much deeper, more grown-up way. The acting was phenomenal and incredibly heartfelt. Every character felt human, flawed, and relatable, especially the relationships between parents and children. Those moments really stayed with me. It wasn’t just about magic — it was about love, regret, and understanding, and that made it very moving. The production itself was stunning. The sound, lighting, and stage magic were so cleverly done that I genuinely found myself gasping at times. The “magic” happened right in front of us, in small and subtle ways, and for a few hours I completely forgot how the real world works. I walked out feeling emotional, amazed, and full of gratitude. It reminded me how powerful storytelling can be — how it can make you feel wonder, connection, and belief all at once. It’s an experience I’ll remember for a long time.
