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.

It further says that, "When we last saw Harry he was waving off his eldest children, James Sirius and Albus Severus, at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. This next exciting chapter in the story will explore Harry’s life after that moment for the very first time."

The play will be written by Jack Thorne and directed by Olivier and Tony award-winner John Tiffany, in collaboration with J.K. Rowling.The play is slated in two parts featuring almost 30 actors.

The play will open up to Londoners in 2016 and booking starts on 28th October 2015. Meanwhile Potterheads can only wait, but happily!
