The first images of the grown-up Harry, Ginny and Albus Potter from the upcoming stage play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two” have hit the web via Pottermore.
See the images of Jamie Parker (as Harry Potter), Poppy Miller (as Ginny Potter) and Sam Clemmett (as Albus Severus Potter) below.
Now just one week out from the first preview of the show, Parker spoke about donning the most iconic aspects of Harry’s look – his scar and glasses:
“They’re just iconic. These are stories that people have lived with for their whole lives, they’ve grown up with and now they’re adults re-joining the tale, picking it up where they left off and I’m one of them. In a sense you don’t need more than the scar and the glasses, you kind of go, “there it is” and I don’t really know how to put it into words, it’s just immeasurably exciting and I can’t wait to show it to people… It’s a unique gig in the sense that you have seven volumes of backstory that you get to bring on with you. And we were all very keen to make sure that the first time you see Harry it just feels right.”
The play is 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 John Tiffany. It will receive its world premiere in London’s West End at the Palace Theatre this summer and is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. A Special Rehearsal Edition of the script book of the new stage play will also be available.
