Harry Potter and the Cursed Child cast: The three lead roles have been revealed.
The Harry Potter and the Cursed Child cast has been revealed. The stage production is set to hit London’s West End in the summer of 2016, and it has been revealed that the show’s three actors have been cast.
Jamie Parker, Noma Dumezweni and Paul Thornley will lead the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child cast as Harry, Hermione and Ron.
J.K. Rowling said: “I’m so excited with the choice of casting for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I can’t wait to see Jamie, Noma and Paul bring the adult Harry, Hermione and Ron to life on stage next summer.”
The play is directed by John Tiffany, and written by Jack Thorne based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany. The play will receive its world premiere in London’s West End at the Palace Theatre in the summer of 2016 and is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. Further casting for the Company of over 30 will be announced at a later date.
Jamie Parker is currently playing Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls at the Savoy Theatre, while Noma Dumezweni is currently playing the title role in Linda at the Royal Court Theatre. Paul Thornley played the role of Dodge in London Road at the National Theatre before going on to play the same character in the film version this past year.
The Harry Potter universe will also have another addition in 2016; the David Yates directed Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them will hit cinemas in November.
The official synopsis for the play is below. Come back to The Hollywood News for more Harry Potter and the Cursed Child cast news soon.
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.
