Calling all HARRY POTTER fans!
You can now enter your email address at harrypottertheplaylondon.com to receive details on tickets and more for J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany's upcoming play, HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD, coming to the West End's Palace Theatre next summer. Tickets will go on sale to the public this fall, with more details to be announced this or next month.
As previously announced reported, the new play centers on the literary icon's parents -- Lily and James. Rumors of a HARRY POTTER-themed play first appeared over a year ago.
J.K. Rowling confirmed the news via Twitter last month:
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.

The story follows Lily Evans Potter and James Potter before they were killed by Lord Voldemort. It will likely take a closer look at Lily's fraught relationship with her sister Petunia, who was forced to raise Harry with her husband Vernon after the Potters were murdered.
Severus Snape could also play a key role; he and Lily were friends as children, went to Hogwarts together and were both members of the Order of the Phoenix.
James' fellow Marauders -- friends Remus Lupin (werewolf), Sirius Black (Harry's godfather) and Peter Pettigrew (the backstabbing rat) -- might also appear in the plot.
Produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Colin Callender's Playground Entertainment and Harry Potter Theatrical Productions, HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD will be directed by Tiffany with movement by Steven Hoggett, set designs by Christine Jones, costumes by Katrina Lindsay, lighting by Neil Austin, music by Imogen Heap, sound by Gareth Fry and special effects by Jeremy Chernick.
