Harry Potter has once again returned to the Black Box stage! This year’s fall play was “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” written by Jack Thorne. Based on J.K. Rowling’s book, this play has captured the hearts and souls of many, depicting the new generation of wizards at Hogwarts 20 years after the final battle with Voldemort. The play follows Harry Potter’s estranged and turbulent youngest son Albus Potter as he ventures on his journey of being the only Slytherin in the family and befriending Scorpius Malfoy, a social pariah. When dangerous secrets come to light, society is threatened, and Albus and Scorpius must be willing to risk their lives to save everyone from their dreadful mistake.

All the students who participated in putting this show together did an amazing job and worked incredibly hard for 3 wonderful nights of performance. Shoutouts to Yejee Hwang as Albus Potter, Humphrey Zhao as Harry Potter, Isa Sanchez as Scorpius Malfoy, and Emily Ling as Delphi Diggory. The director of the Theater Department, Mr. Christopher Kent did a phenomenal job as always and I loved seeing all the magic because it reflected much of the Broadway show. The theatrics, costumes, and atmosphere made it feel so realistic. The actors and actresses truly did an amazing job portraying their characters with easily read emotions and the choreography was out of this world.

This play portrays the pressure legacy puts on relationships and how our intentions may not always result in how we want them to. It was very heartful, emotional, and worthwhile. I can’t wait to see what the next play is, and thank you to everyone who participated in a wonderful performance.
