J.K. Rowling ha detto che nel 2016 uscirà uno spettacolo teatrale su Harry Potter: si intitolerà “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” e racconterà una storia inedita
Sarà la prima volta che Rowling espanderà la vicenda e le ambientazioni di Harry Potter in una forma “lunga” dopo la fine della saga. Rowling ha aggiunto che la storia non sarà un prequel e che la forma teatrale le è sembrata la più adatta per raccontare nuove vicende su Harry Potter.
I'm also very excited to confirm today that a new play called Harry Potter and the #CursedChild will be opening in London next year.
