Harry Potter and the Cursed Child / Ο Χάρι Πότερ και το καταραμένο παιδί

Ήταν πάντα δύσκολο να είναι ο Χάρι Πότερ και δεν είναι πιο εύκολο τώρα, που είναι ένας πολυάσχολος εργαζόμενος του Υπουργείου Μαγείας, σύζυγος και πατέρας τριών παιδιών σχολικής ηλικίας. Ενώ ο Χάρι αντιμετωπίζει το παρελθόν που αρνείται να μείνει εκεί όπου ανήκει, ο νεότερος γιος του, Άλμπους, πρέπει να αντιμετωπίσει το βάρος μιας οικογενειακής κληρονομιάς που ποτέ δεν ήθελε. Με το παρελθόν και το παρόν να μπλέκονται απειλητικά, τόσο ο πατέρας όσο και ο γιος θα πρέπει να έρθουν αντιμέτωποι με τη δυσάρεστη αλήθεια: «μερικές φορές το σκοτάδι προέρχεται από απροσδόκητα μέρη».
