Harry Potter and the Cursed Child updates!

A breathtaking first look of grown-up Harry and Ginny Potter (nee Weasley) and their young son, Albus, has been revealed by the folks behind the forthcoming eighth Harry Potter story, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child " a stage play debuting in London in a week, set 19 years after the pre-epilogue events of Deathly Hallows.

The trio is played by Jamie Parker (Harry), Poppy Miller (Ginny), and Sam Clemmett (Albus Severus). The first look was revealed on Pottermore along with a tease that more wizarding characters " presumably, Paul Thornley's Ron and Noma Dumezweni's Hermione " will be unveiled over the next few days.

The first look at Harry, Ginny, and Albus in costume was accompanied by a few key interview quotes that shed light on plot points in the mysterious project, which we currently know dabbles in the famous legacy of the Potter family and how it trickles down to Albus as he enters the fray at Hogwarts.

Rowling offered a few comments on her feelings towards seeing her creations in costume once more. Of Parker-as-Potter, she summed up, "He simply is Harry now. There's a kind of relief in watching him, he gets it so right."

To the maternal, cozy Ginny, Rowling said, "I think a lot of people would like to have Poppy's Ginny for a mother. Kind and cool, exactly as I imagined her." (For her part, Miller praised her character's "fabulous haircut" and compared her jumper to a Pygmy Puff, so fans essentially have no reason not to already love her.)

And in regards to Albus, Rowling opted to stay mum: "There's much I could say about Sam-as-Albus, but we'd be into spoiler territory so quickly I'll just say we couldn't have cast better." At the beginning of the show, Albus will be in hand-me-down Hogwarts robes from his older brother, James Sirius Potter " an idea that apparently came from young Clemmett.

For the full story and to read what the actors themselves had to say about taking on the iconic roles, head over to Pottermore.

Cursed Child begins previews on June 7 at the Palace Theatre in London. The script book will be released by Scholastic on July 31.

Harry's casting is spot on!

Ginny looks like a younger version of Molly. I think I'm going to love her! Her clothes are quite drab though, which is not something I would have expected of the 'cool' and fashion-forward Ginny of the books.

Unsure about Albus.

The casting of H/G and R/Hr in the Cursed child play are bang on...Even Draco's casting is fab...But the actors playing Albus and Scorpius doesn't look like the age of 11 instead they look like the age of 16 or 17...
but the girl playing Rose does look like the age of 12 or 13,IMO...Cuz the three of them are supposed to be starting their Hogwarts schooling in this play...
I wish I could see the play, so I have to wait for the script book to release...

I think the main part of the story takes place later, not their first year, so that'll help. And from what I've heard, yes, the casting, acting, effects, and humour is great.
