Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in Portland

This touring production of *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child* brings the acclaimed stage play to Portland. Written by Jack Thorne from an original story by Thorne, J. K. Rowling, and John Tiffany, the play is set nineteen years after the events of *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows*. It follows Albus Severus Potter, the second son of Harry Potter, now Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, as he navigates his own Hogwarts journey and struggles with his father's legacy.

Audiences can expect a theatrical experience filled with illusions and stage wizardry that have earned the production critical praise worldwide. The play originally premiered in London's West End in 2016 and has since been staged in multiple countries, with this North American Tour bringing the magic to cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The performance has been re-staged as a single 3½-hour show for touring.

The play's innovative staging and heartfelt performances make it a compelling story of family, friendship, and the challenges of living up to expectations.
