Actual plot points for
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which will indeed be about Harry and his son Albus after the
Deathly Hallows epilogue, were
revealed this week by the play's producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender.
Quote:
A statement from the creative team noted that Al must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted and that ‘past and present fuse ominously’ when Harry and his younger son learn the uncomfortable truth that ‘sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places’.
Friedman and Callender were cautious when discussing The Cursed Child. ‘We don’t want to spoil it for the audiences,’ Callender said, reasonably.
And when I asked if there would be any flashbacks to Harry’s own parents, Friedman said, more bluntly: ‘It’s for theatregoers and fans, and we’re not going to say any more about the story.’
‘Because it’s a play, it’s worth stressing that at this stage of the process it’s not our intention to have a high-tech show, but to go back to basic story telling,’ Friedman said. She and Callender both termed it ‘raw theatre’.
However, they have hired special effects experts and an illusionist. ‘We very much hope to deliver magic — but in our unique way,’ Friedman added.
The two-part production will cast 30 characters, including adult Harry and 11 year old Albus, as well as others (presumably the rest of the Potter family - Ginny, James and Lily), and rehearsals will begin sometime this February and March.
The producers said that while Albus has the same green eyes as his father and maternal grandmother, they won't be looking for a boy with that particular eye color, noting that viewers won't be able to tell from their seats, anyway. Plus, Rowling admitted that Lily and Harry's identical eye color wasn't significant so much as the fact that Harry had his mother's eyes.
