The reimagined one-part Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has moved its booking period out to Sunday 5 September 2027. The new block puts more than 110,000 tickets on sale at the Palace Theatre.
The single-performance version began on Friday 9 October 2026. When its first cast was announced in September, it was booking to Sunday 27 June 2027. Today's release adds another ten weeks.
The photographs, by Manuel Harlan, are the first to show the new company on stage. Ethan Rouse plays Albus Potter and Bill Stanley plays Scorpius Malfoy. Zoë Rainey is Ginny Potter, Hasia Akwaboah is Rose Granger-Weasley and Adam Jackson-Smith is Draco Malfoy. Three principals continue: David Ricardo-Pearce as Harry Potter, Thomas Aldridge as Ron Weasley and Naana Agyei Ampadu as Hermione Granger.
The wider company is Dewayne Jameson Adams, David Annen, Jacqueline Beaumont, Jensen Bedford, Angeline Bell, Tatum Confrey, Robert Curtis, Nick Dennington, Shakhai Estwick, Miah Hasselbaink, Tim Hibberd, Becky Hoyle, Max Hutchinson, Danny Ivy, Emma Louise Jones, Laura June Ness, Louise Ludgate, Shreya Lallu, Nathan Muwowo, Jocelyn Prah, Claire Redcliffe, Ewan Rutherford, Joshua Talbot, Nathaniel Tan, Callum Tempest, Alex Tomkins, Jake Tuesley and Aidan Garrett Wilkins.
The play joins Harry, Ron and Hermione 19 years after they saved the wizarding world, as their children start at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. What follows is a race through time and a fight against forces nobody can quite name, with the future at stake.
