SnitchSeeker caught up with some of the creative minds behind the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in New York City on Sunday, including author J.K. Rowling, director John Tiffany, and screenwriter Jack Thorne.

The three chatted about the transition of their hit two-part production from London to New York, as well as their anticipation of American audiences seeing the shows for the first time. That, as well as a chat with Fantastic Beasts' actress Jessica Williams on joining the Wizarding world, can be watched below.









The four above were joined by dozens of celebrities at the opening day performances of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, including Fantastic Beasts actors Ezra Miller and Dan Fogler. Photos to come shortly.

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and the father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

Seven members of the Original West End Company reunite on stage for the Broadway premiere: Jamie Parker (Harry Potter), Noma Dumezweni (Hermione Granger) and Paul Thornley (Ron Weasley) with Poppy Miller (Ginny Potter), Sam Clemmett (Albus Potter), Alex Price (Draco Malfoy) and Anthony Boyle (Scorpius Malfoy).
