J.K. Rowling, 'Fantastic Beasts' cast attend 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' open
J.K. Rowling led the red carpet for the debut of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway this Sunday afternoon, joined by director John Tiffany, playwright Jack Thorne, and producers Sonia Friedman and Collin Callendar.
A few familiar Fantastic Beasts' film series actors joined them at the opening night at the Lyric Theatre in New York City, including Dan Fogler (Jacob Kowalski), Ezra Miller (Credence Barebone), William Nadylam (Yusuf Kama), and Jessica Williams (Lally Hicks). Those photos can be found below.
The cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will take part in the post-production red carpet starting at around 9:30pm EST on Sunday, April 22, including stars Jamie Parker (Harry Potter), Noma Dumezweni (Hermione Granger) and Paul Thornley (Ron Weasley) with Poppy Miller (Ginny Potter), Sam Clemmett (Albus Potter), Alex Price (Draco Malfoy) and Anthony Boyle (Scorpius Malfoy) with Rowling and more. 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 the 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.
Seven members of the Original West End Company reunite on stage for the Broadway premiere: Jamie Parker (Harry Potter), Noma Dumezweni (Hermione Granger) and Paul Thornley (Ron Weasley) with Poppy Miller (Ginny Potter), Sam Clemmett (Albus Potter), Alex Price (Draco Malfoy) and Anthony Boyle (Scorpius Malfoy).
