Bought for my daughter for Christmas. She’s a Harry Potter fan and has been to London to see the stage show so this was an easy gift that I knew would be treasured.
The first copy came in a Jiffy bag and was damaged so I had to return it. The second was boxed and in perfect condition.
She was really happy with her gift and started reading it the same day.
It’s a lovely book with loads of beautiful pictures and tons of information, a definite winner for any enthusiast and it’s a great price for such a beautiful book.
Hope you found my review helpful.

This is a Harry Potter and a Cursed Child Fan’s like me ultimate dream book! I was delighted to read about the wonderful journey of how this multiple award winning stage play was conceived all the way up to its public performances in London’s West End, New York’s Broadway and other cities around the world including my childhood time city of Melbourne!

I did have to return my first copy due to corner damage. This was due to it being sent in an over sized bubblewrap bag (eye roll) instead of the old cardboard case Amazon used to send out books/DVD etc. Why they have decided to change to useless plastic bags over recyclable cardboard packaging I will never know!
It had clearly been sliding about inside the bubblewrap bag during transit and the bag provides limited protection from this. (HENCE THE 4 STAR RATING!!!)
HOWEVER – The book itself is amazing, I highly recommend it to theatre fans and Potter fans. The photos at beautiful and the detail they go into with costumes and set is a wonderful glimpse into the Cursed Child world.
If you can get the book in-store I would, as you never know what condition your copy will be in when it gets to you.

I love this book and especially since there are no theatres open, it keeps me entertained until I can go and see the show again

As with all books of this type read on a digital device, the pictures are dissapointingly hard to see and impossible to expand, but I can’t blame the authors for that.
A great addition to reading, listening to and watching the original seven books and eight films.
Tells you a lot about the writing, casting, directing, rehearsing, sets, costumes, props, effects and more without spoiling any of the illusions.
I’m going to read the scipts next (of which there is a free sample at the end of this book), although I’m worried this will make me want to see the shows again, and I’m trying to save money…

Wanted this book from the second it came out but couldn’t justify the crazy price, then this came on sale and what can I say, best money ever spend. I spend hours looking at this book and still haven’t read it all. I am a massive cursed child fan so highly recommend this for anyone that loves the play. They’re are lots of spoilers in it though if you haven’t seen the show, so be warned.
