CURSED CHILD Invites Potter Fans to Celebrate Friday 400

The 1st of September is the day students head off to Hogwarts, and this year it's 19 Years Later - the actual date that the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ends and the play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, begins.

To mark this date, the production is celebrating with an exclusive one-off FRIDAY 400! After the regular Friday Forty on Friday 4th August, at 4pm the show will release 400 tickets priced at £40 (£20 per part) for the performances of Parts One and Two on Friday the 1st September 2017.

To enter the FRIDAY 400, visit here on Friday 4th August. Tickets will be released when the countdown reaches zero at 4pm.

From 3.30pm BST fans will be able to enter a virtual waiting room until tickets become available to buy from 4pm. At 4pm, customers in the waiting room will be selected at random for the opportunity to purchase a maximum of 2 tickets for both Parts One and Two.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne, directed by JohnTiffany. The production is one play presented in two parts. Both parts are intended to be seen in order on the same day (matinee and evening) or on two consecutive evenings.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The critically acclaimed production received its world premiere in July 2016 at the Palace Theatre in London where it continues to play to sold out houses.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child features movement by Steven Hoggett, set by Christine Jones, costumes by Katrina Lindsay, music & arrangements by Imogen Heap, lighting by Neil Austin, sound by Gareth Fry, illusions & magic by Jamie Harrison, music supervision & arrangements by Martin Lowe.

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
