J.K. Rowling Issues a Request for Fans Who See The Cursed Child Play

By Maryann Yin 

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is well-known for delighting her fans on Twitter and occasionally granting requests. Recently, she shot a video to issue a special one.

Previews have begun for the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play at London’s West End. The video embedded above features Rowling and her plea to theatergoers to “keep the secrets” and not spoil the show for anybody who hasn’t seen it.

The official opening date for this two-part theatrical production has been scheduled for July 30. Scholastic will publish a book with the script of the play on July 31 (the birthday of both Harry Potter and Rowling herself).
