Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts I and II are not a prequel, but according to the tagline, might actually be the long-awaited sequel to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, taking place right after the epilogue.

The image below, via a reputable reporter from The Daily Mail and AKA UK, the marketing team behind the UK production, reveals the tagline:

Producers #SoniaFriedman .& #ColinCallender said that @HPPlayLDN 'picks up from where Deathly Hallows ended'.

Given the art released early Thursday, the cursed child is presumably one person: Albus Severus Potter.

A photo of J.K. Rowling with the team behind the play, director John Tiffany and playwright Jack Thorne, can be seen here.



Rowling said years ago that if she ever continued any story in Harry's universe, it would follow his middle child Albus Potter, and going by this information, the two part play may do just that. The official art with the tag line has yet to be released, but this is confirms at least what timeframe the story will take place.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child's two parts will debut at London's Palace Theater next summer.
