“It’s not an adaptation of anything she’s done [previously]. It’s been written specifically for the stage.”

“We don’t know who’ll play anybody because they haven’t even started casting.”

“The tickets will go on sale in October, I think on the 19th, which is a special day for her. It’s a commemorative day.” (Editor’s note: October 2016 would mark 20 years since J.K. Rowling received word from Bloomsbury that they would publish her first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, so perhaps this is what Weitzenhoffer is referring to.)

"The theater will have an enormous Harry Potter presence as far as its concession stands and what we sell."

"Two months before we open they'll put [the sets] in the theater, which is one month longer than for any of the big musicals. That obviously means that there's gonna be serious special effects that go with that. It should be great."

"[J.K. Rowling] has insisted that 100 seats a night be made available to children who cannot afford to go to the theater. Every performance - not just night, but matinees."

"[The opening night] will probably be pretty grand. My partner [Nica Burns] and I have been allocated only four seats each in the stalls. We imagine the publicity and the press will be absolutely gigantic. I'm sure they'll have all the stars from all the movies, which were all basically the real theater stars from the UK. Pretty spectacular. I'm looking forward to it."

On getting the play in NY: "My hunch is you will. It's like anything else ... there's a lot of things to come before New York City. I imagine over the years it’ll be other places."
