Cursed Child Re-Opens in Melbourne

After 49 weeks of closure, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has reopened its doors at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre. The show had been suspended due to COVID-19 restrictions, but now with new safety measures in place it’s time to turn the theatre lights back on and let the magic begin again.

To celebrate the first production returning, the Melbourne company arranged a special surprise for the audience… Each audience member was gifted a wand as they arrived at their seats.  As the curtain call completed, the cast invited the audience members, to join them in raising their wands up in the air to mark the show’s return.

Watch the full wand raising moment here.

I am a HUGE fan! I have read all your Harry Potter books twice now and I'm still continuing to read them. Your books and your writing has inspired me to try to write books myself..."


exactly! I am ALSO 12 and i have published some short stories and i also have a blog! I can totally relate with you ! I am sure you will be a great author some day. keep pursuing your dream :D... I think we can be friends. : )


anarchoyoungadult (mournful soul arc)[#hiatus] Even if I could see it (I live in the US, and am as broke as all hell), I wouldn't. Sorry, probably shouldn't bring politics to a book reviewing place, but Ms. Rowling's comments about trans people are pretty not great. I'm terrible at separating work from the author, so HP kinda got ruined for me. That being said, I still do enjoy the fandom, and whatever y'all do, PLEASE:

1: avoid Hogwarts School of Prayer and Miracles
2: support QUILTBAG+ youth by donating to the Trevor Project and the like!

I should stop now, it's the middle of the night.

What comments? Her essay seems perfectly reasonable to me.

anarchoyoungadult (mournful soul arc)[#hiatus] I meant the ones on Twitter. And now that I've finally read that essay, it is a bit iffy. Either way, I'm not about to debate why you should maybe not misgender trans people, so I suppose this is bye!
