The Upcoming Premiere Of 'Harry Potter and The Cursed Child' As Told By The Cast Of 'Harry Potter'

The Upcoming Premiere Of 'Harry Potter and The Cursed Child' As Told By The Cast Of 'Harry Potter'

In 1997, J.K. Rowling gloriously brought our beloved "Harry Potter" to life. It was quite magical, to say the least.

Through Harry's story, we learned to play Quidditch.

To correctly levitate an object.

To be yourself and not care what anyone else thinks about it.

To be brave, especially when it's difficult.

That we have a choice, even if it seems like we don't.

And most importantly, that love is the strongest power there is.

Nine years ago, we said goodbye to Harry as his story came to an end with the publication of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

Despite the happy ending, we were devastated to leave behind the characters, the magic, and especially Hogwarts.

No amount of food could fill the gaping hole in our hearts of which magic should fill.

Thankfully, J.K. started releasing more details about the characters, the plot, and more.

There are a handful of people who think the story of "Harry Potter" ended with book seven and should stay that way. And to them we say:

And if they continued on by saying things like "Why do you care so much? There just made-up stories," and "It's not even that good," well then...

All of a sudden, good ol' J.K. made a huge announcement: She wrote more, much more.

Harry's story will continue with "Harry Potter and The Cursed Child."

According to J.K., it will take place where the epilogue left off – 19 years after Harry defeated Voldemort.

The big kicker is that the new material will be performed as a play, rather than published traditionally as it had been done for the previous stories. At first, we were astonished at this revelation.

But then we realized it was an amazing idea, as per usual of Miss Rowling.

Jamie Parker is set to carry on Harry's role in the live show.

The show will be spilt into two separate parts, intended to be seen in order on the same day (matinee and evening) or on two consecutive evenings. With that said, the show is definitely a long one and we just hope food there will be food.

Rowling has once again requested that fans who see the show "keep the secrets," as they did when each book was published. In other words, she would like the story to "surprise people and move people, in the natural way that a story should surprise and move people." AKA don't pull a Hagrid.

The show opens on July 30th at the Palace Theatre  London.

As if things couldn't get any better, Rowling has planned for a book version of the script to be published worldwide the very next day.

Unsurprisingly, the script for "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is already Amazon's most pre-ordered script of 2016. So head to the store early and prepare your trash talk for when someone challenges you to the last copy.

American wizards, don't be disheartened! Word on the street is the producers are currently in negotiations to bring the show to Broadway.

Now and then, a few people still feel the need to voice their unfavorable opinion of all things Harry Potter.

They ask, "Do you still love the series that much, after all this time?" And we answer the same every time:

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
