J.K. Rowling visited the new London cast of
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child earlier this week, and going by the actors' reactions, this was the first time the second year's team met the author of the
Harry Potter series. A photo from the Palace Theatre with Rowling, director John Tiffany, producer Sonia Friedman, and the entire cast can be seen here.
Several of the actors, including Rakie Ayola (Hermione Granger), Tom Aldridge (Ron Weasley), and James Howard (Draco Malfoy) voiced their pleasure and delight at Rowling's visit and meeting her.
