@jk_rowling: I'm also very excited to confirm today that a new play called Harry Potter and the #CursedChild will be opening in London next year.

@jk_rowling: It will tell a new story, which is the result of a collaboration between writer Jack Thorne, director John Tiffany and myself. #CursedChild

@jk_rowling: I don't want to say too much more, because I don't want to spoil what I know will be a real treat for fans. #CursedChild

@jk_rowling: However, I can say that it is not a prequel! #CursedChild

@jk_rowling: To answer one inevitable (and reasonable!) question - why isn't #CursedChild a new novel? - I am confident that when audiences see the play

@jk_rowling: they will agree that it was the only proper medium for the story. #CursedChild

@jk_rowling: I've had countless offers to extend Harry's story over the years, but Jack, John and Sonia Friedman are a dream team! #CursedChild

@jk_rowling: It has been a huge pleasure to share with them (and soon, with you!) this untold part of Harry's story. #CursedChild

Kim Kardashian

I might go.

I wouldn't worry if I couldn't though, it's bound to be on DVD. She wouldn't do that to the fans.
I just hope she gets the original cast members back. Daniel's done plays before so i'm sure he'd be up for it.

Watch it be about Neville or something

Anecdote of Harry saving a Muggleborn from witch-hating parents like how Hagrid saved him from the Dursleys.
