Nine years after the publication sel-the last book of the series conclusive Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007) – five years after the last film in the series the brand throbs again thanks to the brand new play Harry Potter and the bloody legacy and the distribution of text in bookstores around the world.
no, it is not a continuation of the original series, but a work inspired by the magnificent history of Rowling who appropriated the world, defined a generation and even became the book series best-selling history and the second series of highest-grossing films of all time (surpassed only by the cinematic universe of the house of comics Marvel Entertainment).
the new play either it was written by Rowling, although the author himself was involved in the production of the staging and provided assistance to the script. The only author announced is the screenwriter and playwright British Jack Thorne, who was based on a completely new story developed between him, Rowling and theater director John Tiffany. As said Rowling numerous times, this work is not a prequel to the universe Harry Potter .

While Rowling has implored viewers of the work that will “keep the secret” in order not to give spoilers to other viewers and readers abroad, already know a few details of this new narrative.
the work takes place 19 years after the events chronicled in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (remember that the seven books in the series cover the life of the orphaned wizard from his 11 at 18). At this point, Harry and his wife Ginny have three children, all in school already.
The little information that has come out about the plot says Harry, a thirtysomething working hours more in the Ministry of Magic, it not is going splendidly between such work and their role as a parent.
“While Harry stands up to a past that refuses to be left behind her younger son, Albus Severus, has to fight against the weight of a family heritage that has never wanted to know anything, “reads the synopsis. “When fate connect the past with the present, father and son will face an uncomfortable truth: sometimes, the darkness comes from the most unexpected places.”
Actor Jamie Parker Harry plays in the work, Poppy Miller is Ginny, Noma Dumezweni is Hermione and Ron Paul Thornley makes Weasley. The press has raised their cheers in honor of the interpretation by the young actor Anthony Boyle Scorpius Malfoy, son of Draco Malfoy (played by Alex Price)

“the British theater has not had anything like this for decades and I’ve never seen anything directly comparable in all my days as a critic,” wrote Dominic Cavendish in the Daily Telegraph .
reviews media as The Times , the Stage , the Guardian and the Independent have not dropped four stars. The Stage said that the work is one of those game-changing forever, and described it as a start “entirely original” scene. Unlike a movie based on a book, a book with a work like this probably leave the same feelings in readers.
Missing more. the birthday celebration this year Harry Potter does not end there. In fact, this year, two decades since the launch of the first book of the series in England. Perhaps that is why there are so many plans in motion to revitalize it.
In October an illustrated Harry Potter version and the Chamber of Secrets be published, the second book in the series, originally published in July 1998. the illustrations are by Jim Kay.
