Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Tickets

The Show is Changing! This is your final chance to experience the original two-part Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London. The show will evolve into a reimagined one-part production from 6th October 2026, with a runtime of 2 hours 55 minutes and a single interval, delivering the entire story in one unforgettable performance.

A Decade of Magic: If you watched it when it first arrived in London, it’s now been almost 10 years since that unforgettable opening night. Feel old yet? Reliving the story is like stepping back into a world you never wanted to leave.

One-Day Spectacle: Previously, the show was performed across consecutive evenings, leaving audiences to anxiously await Part Two overnight. Now, both parts are enjoyed in a single day, with a break in between, making the experience more thrilling and immersive (and cheaper if you’re coming from outside of London),

Introduce a New Generation: Perhaps your loved one wasn’t old enough when the show first opened. Now, aged 8 or over, and having experienced the magic of the books and films, they’re ready to step into the wizarding world in person for the very first time.

The Palace Theatre is set for a fresh dose of wizardry as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child unveils its brand-new West End cast. The new company begins performances from 15 October 2025, with the production now extended until 26 July 2026.

Joining the wizarding ranks are:

Joshua Sullivan as Albus Potter, Kai Spackman as Scorpius Malfoy, Oliver Boot as Draco Malfoy and Tamia-Renée Alexandra as Rose Granger-Weasley

Returning to the stage are David Ricardo-Pearce and Claire Lams as Harry and Ginny Potter, with Thomas Aldridge and Naana Agyei-Ampadu as Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

Accio tickets! The engorgio spell has worked as the West End production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has had its run extended. The bewitching play, housed at London's Palace Theatre, will now run until February 2026. This magical milestone coincides with the show enchanting over 2 million Muggles and wizards alike since its debut nine years ago!

For those who haven't yet dusted off their dress robes to attend, the play whisks audiences back to the Wizarding World, picking up 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts. The story centers on Albus Severus Potter, the middle child of the now Ministry-employed Harry Potter. Struggling under the weight of his family's legacy, Albus forms an unexpected alliance with Scorpius Malfoy, son of Draco Malfoy. Together, they embark on a time-turning adventure that proves meddling with history is more complicated than mastering a Patronus charm.

Familiar characters in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Let’s start with all the characters you know, love and (sometimes) hate.

Harry Potter

The boy who lived to be an overworked Ministry of Magic employee and dad of three. See the lightning-scarred protagonist all grown up as we re-enter the Potter-verse where The Deathly Hallows left off - 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts. The next generation of magical folk - including Harry’s son Albus - attend the hallowed school. Due to the pressures of work and a strained relationship with Albus, Harry says a few things a father shouldn’t, leading to disastrous events and a dash through time.

Ginny Potter 

Helping Harry to become an official member of the Wesley family, Ginny is Harry’s wife. In the show, Ginny helps Harry to reconcile with their son Albus - proving herself to be wise and grounded, just as she was in the books.

Hermione Granger

The over-achieving Hermione is now the Minister for Magic. She and her husband, Ron, have a daughter named Rose who is attending Hogwarts with Harry’s children. Ever the loyal friend, Hermione joins Harry on his quest to repair the damage done to his son.

Ron Weasley

Following his brother Fred’s death, Ron has paired up with George to run Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley. Completing the magical trio, Ron joins Harry and Hermione on an adventure through time in hopes of fixing the present.

Draco Malfoy

Harry’s nemesis, Draco, has led a difficult life. After the Second Wizarding War, he shed his prejudices and distanced himself from his Death Eater family. After finding love, Draco has a son called Scorpius who becomes Harry’s son’s best friend. Though his opinions have changed, his treatment of Harry and his friends hasn’t, leading to further tension between them.

Just a few weeks have passed since Jade Ogugua stepped into the shoes of one of the most powerful witches of all time. In Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, the epic continuation of the beloved Wizarding World series, the world's favourite trio has grown up, but they remain adventurers at heart. Harry is a dedicated father of three, Ron owns a joke shop, and Hermione, unsurprisingly, leads The Ministry of Magic. However, when she's not ruling the roost, Jade is just like any other Muggle out there. So, let's catch up with her and see how she immerses herself in the mindset of "it's leviOsa, not levioSA."

These fantastic feel-good shows will stay with you longer than those hastily purchased silver flared trousers will stay in your wardrobe. With productions for those fully embracing the upcoming holiday period (Elf!, The Snowman), as well as those who would rather go back in time then attempt to cook a full roast dinner for 16 people - plus pets (Back to the Future), we have something for everyone on your Christmas list (as well as a little treat for yourself, of course.)
