Potterheads will know that a play called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will hit the stage in London this year, and will pick up the story of Harry Potter 19 years after The Deathly Hallows. Now we have awesome news for all those fans that can’t make it over to England to check out the live performance – The Cursed Child is being released as a book!

I’m already repeating “Accio The Cursed Child” in my head, but we’ll still have to wait a while before we can get our hands and eyes on one of the most highly anticipated stories of the past few years!

The Cursed Child will hit shelves on July 31st, the day after the play is first performed (and also Harry’s birthday)! The book is a printed version of the script, and scripts are written in a slightly different way to your usual novel, but that just adds to the fun of the experience!

I seriously can’t wait to line up to buy the new book and read a brand new story about my favourite wizard!

Fellow Potterheads, how excited are you about a new Harry Potter book? Let me know in the comments below!
