Jack Thorne wrote the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child based on an original story written by J. K. Rowling, Thorne, and John Tiffany. Nineteen years have passed since the events of J.K. Rowling's 2007 book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when the plot takes place. It centers on Albus Severus Potter, Harry Potter's son, who is currently in charge of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Albus is angry with his father since he is put into Slytherin upon arriving at Hogwarts and falls short of living up to his father's legacy. Rowling's description of the play as "the eighth Harry Potter story"

Any on-screen adaptation of the play will probably not originate from the film, despite director Chris Columbus' indicated interest in reviving the Harry Potter series with a cinematic adaptation of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Since the 2011 flash-forward finale of the Harry Potter film series, fans have been requesting more stories set in the Wizarding World. This article contains all the information you could possibly need about the movie.

Date of the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child film's release:

A possible release date or cinematic adaptation of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child are not yet confirmed. Despite Warner Bros. and J. K. Rowling's denials, Kilar's remarks reignited long-standing rumors about a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child film. However, with the announcement of the Harry Potter television series adaptation, the chance of a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child film using the original actors of the film series has all but disappeared.

Other than Chris Columbus's intention to helm a movie version of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, there was no firm information on Warner Bros. deciding to take on the project. In a 2021 interview, filmmaker Chris Columbus first shown interest in creating a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child movie via Variety.

For a special 20th anniversary celebration of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the interview was done.

Movie Potential Storyline:

The storyline of a film based on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child would have been intriguing, to put it nicely. The film Harry Potter and the Cursed Child begins with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, all 37 years old, bidding their children farewell as they depart for Hogwarts at Platform 9 3/4. The events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows take place 19 years later in this narrative.

The play continues Harry Potter's story through his son Albus, who travels across time to uncover secrets from his father's past. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child's cast is joined in the performance by Scorpius, Draco Malfoy's son, Rose, Hermione and Ron's daughter, Delphi,the unplanned offspring of Bellatrix Lestrange and Voldemort.

The play's time-travel element would have created an immensely engaging movie or television series that would have appealed to both casual viewers and die-hard Potter fans because it addressed a significant portion of the original plot from a different viewpoint.
