The Story of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
- Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a musical created in London by Jack Thorne and directed by John Tiffany. This production was also co-written by J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter. This work is considered the “eighth book” of the saga.
- We find Harry, Ron, and Hermione as adults. Harry now works at the Ministry of Magic. He is married and father of three children. His youngest son, Albus, is admitted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But it’s not easy for him to find his place there, given the heavy family legacy…
- Father and son must battle the ghosts of the past and learn that darkness often hides where you least expect it!
- Since September 2024, the theater offers a free translation app that allows you to follow the dialogue in French. The GalaPro app is available for free on the Apple Store and Google Play Store. Practical for following the dialogue when you don’t speak English.

Reviews of the Harry Potter Show in New York
Reviews of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child extracted from our Facebook group Destination New York
- Johan: “The theater is superb! We arrived 30 minutes before the start, that’s enough time! Just enough time to marvel at the venue! As for the show, simply prodigious. We had read the book to make sure we understood everything… because yes, it doesn’t sing! So my advice is to read the play beforehand! Amazing! The magic tricks are excellently staged. I wondered how they would manage to do it! Well, bravo! Great success! The Dementors for those in the know are absolutely killer… So go for it! And it’s bookable on CNEWYORK. We were very well seated and all the seats in the theater allow for good visibility in our opinion. Truly fantastic!”
- Ambre S.: “If you don’t speak English well, reading the book beforehand can really help you! I speak English fluently and had read the book so I understood everything, but it remains truly magical, with superb special effects, even my boyfriend who barely knows Harry Potter really enjoyed it!”
- Alex J.: “I highly recommend it, this show is incredible!!!”
- Sonia M.: “There’s a lot of dialogue but the staging is really great.”
- Martin E.: “I don’t speak English and we loved it!! What magic. We were seated high up and could see well.”
- Cathy B.: “Originally the play was in two parts of 3 and a half hours each. The play in New York has been condensed into one part of 3 hours. I’m a Harry Potter fan and I was delighted, it’s beautiful and magical. There are even QR codes to scan to see the ceiling and the Patronus paintings on the theater walls come to life. Only downside: 30 minutes intermission and there were so many people for the bathrooms that I almost missed the second part. Enjoy!!!”
- William T.: “Little tip, ask the coat check on the 1st floor: they’ll lend you a phone connected with French subtitles in real time, it helps. I only found out about it after an hour!! Otherwise the magic of Broadway definitely works!!”
- Milou D.: “I went and I advise you to reread it in French beforehand. Big Harry Potter fan, I loved it!!! Enjoy.”
