Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will hit a West End stage just a day before the hero's 36 th birthday (July 30), and JK Rowling has finally opened up about her latest trip into the world of magic.

A two-part play, The Cursed Child will weave a tale of new fears and old worries as Albus starts his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"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," Pottermore revealed. "While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: Sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places."

The last time readers heard from Albus was as he nervously boarded the Hogwarts Express in the Deathly Hallows epilogue. According to the Daily Mail, Cursed Child will pick up not long after Harry bid farewell to his middle son.

"It's safe to say that The Cursed Child picks up from where The Deathly Hallows ended," revealed producer Sonia Friedman.

The play will go into previews starting June 7. While viewers can see both parts consecutively on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, tickets are also sold separately. For one-show previews tickets will run between £10 and £50. Starting on July 30, tickets will jump to £15 to £65.
