Now that the artwork has been unveiled, the creative team for the West End's upcoming HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD, PARTS I & II is opening up about the plot, which until now has been kept under a strict cloaking spell. Despite earlier rumors the plays would center on Harry Potter's parents, it looks like 'CURSED CHILD' will be a sequel, not a prequel.

We couldn't conjure a better poster for J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany's upcoming Harry Potter prequel plays HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD, PARTS I & II. Scroll down for a first look at the new artwork (which Rowling tweeted she 'loves') for the West End's upcoming, two-part production!

Big news on the HP front today! J.K. Rowling took to Twitter to reveal that her upcoming play with Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD, will be staged in two parts.
