The official playscript of the original West End production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

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.
The playscript for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was originally released as a 'special rehearsal edition' alongside the opening of Jack Thorne's play in London's West End in summer 2016. Based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, the play opened to rapturous reviews from theatregoers and critics alike, while the official playscript became an immediate global bestseller.
This definitive and final playscript updates the 'special rehearsal edition' with the conclusive and final dialogue from the play, which has subtly changed since its rehearsals, as well as a conversation piece between director John Tiffany and writer Jack Thorne, who share stories and insights about reading playscripts. This edition also includes useful background information including the Potter family tree and a timeline of events from the Wizarding World prior to the beginning of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Il quinto anno a Hogwarts si annuncia carico di sfide difficili. Harry non è mai stato così irrequieto: Lord Voldemort è tornato. Che cosa succederà ora che il Signore Oscuro è di nuovo in pieno possesso dei suoi terrificanti poteri? Al contrario di Silente, il Ministro della Magia sembra non prendere sul serio questa spaventosa minaccia. Toccherà a Harry organizzare la resistenza, con l'aiuto degli amici di sempre e il tumultuoso coraggio dell'adolescenza.

Questo che avete tra le mani è il volume centrale delle avventure di Harry Potter. È un momento cruciale nella vita di Harry: ormai è un mago adolescente, vuole andarsene dalla casa dei perfidi Dursley, vuole sognare la Cercatrice di Corvonero per cui ha una cotta tremenda...

Una terribile minaccia incombe sulla Scuola di Magia e Stregoneria di Hogwarts. Sirius Black, il famigerato assassino, è evaso dalla prigione di Azkaban. È in caccia e la sua preda è proprio a Hogwarts, dove Harry e i suoi amici stanno per cominciare il loro terzo anno. Nonostante la sorveglianza dei Dissennatori la scuola non è più un luogo sicuro, perché al suo interno si nasconde un traditore...

A Hogwarts il nuovo anno scolastico s'inaugura all'insegna di fatti inquietanti: strane voci riecheggiano nei corridoi e Ginny sparisce nel nulla. Un antico mistero si nasconde nelle profondità del castello e incombe ora sulla scuola, toccherà a Harry, Ron e Hermione risolvere l'enigma che si cela nella tenebrosa Camera dei Segreti...

Harry Potter è un ragazzo normale, o quantomeno è convinto di esserlo, anche se a volte provoca strani fenomeni, come farsi ricrescere i capelli inesorabilmente tagliati dai perfidi zii. Vive con loro al numero 4 di Privet Drive: una strada di periferia come tante, dove non succede mai nulla fuori dall'ordinario. Finché un giorno, poco prima del suo undicesimo compleanno, riceve una misteriosa lettera che gli rivela la sua vera natura: Harry è un mago e la Scuola di Magia e Stregoneria di Hogwarts è pronta ad accoglierlo...

La fecha crucial se acerca. Cuando cumpla los diecisiete, Harry perderá el encantamiento protector que lo mantiene a salvo. El anunciado combate a muerte con Voldemort es inminente, y la casi imposible misión de encontrar y destruir los Horrocruxes restantes es más urgente que nunca. Ha llegado el momento de tomar las decisiones más difíciles. Harry debe abandonar la calidez y seguridad de La Madriguera para emprender sin miedo ni vacilaciones el inexorable sendero trazado para él. Consciente de lo mucho que está en juego, sólo dentro de sí mismo encontrará la fuerza que lo impulsará en la vertiginosa carrera hacia un destino desconocido.

En medio de graves acontecimientos que asolan el país, Harry inicia su sexto curso en Hogwarts. El equipo de quidditch, los exámenes y las chicas lo mantienen ocupado, pero la tranquilidad dura poco. A pesar de los férreos controles de seguridad, dos alumnos son brutalmente atacados. Dumbledore sabe que, tal como se anunciaba en la Profecía, Harry y Voldemort han de enfrentarse a muerte. Así pues, para intentar debilitar al enemigo, el anciano director y el joven mago emprenderán juntos un peligroso viaje con la ayuda de un viejo libro de pociones perteneciente a un misterioso personaje, alguien que se hace llamar Príncipe Mestizo.

Las vacaciones de verano aún no han acabado y Harry se encuentra más inquieto que nunca. Apenas ha tenido noticias de Ron y Hermione, y presiente que algo extraño está sucediendo en Hogwarts. No bien empieza el nuevo curso, sus temores se vuelven realidad: el Ministerio de Magia ha iniciado una campaña de desprestigio contra él y Dumbledore, para lo cual ha asignado a la horrible profesora Dolores Umbridge la tarea de vigilar sus movimientos. Y por si fuera poco, Harry sospecha que Voldemort es capaz de adivinar sus pensamientos con el fin de apoderarse de un objeto secreto que le permitiría recuperar su poder destructivo.
