哈利波特第8輯「哈利波特與被詛咒的孩子」 舞台劇精彩劇本書

即將在2016年7月30日於倫敦西區首演的舞台劇——「哈利波特與被詛咒的孩子」，被視為哈利波特系列第8輯，以哈利波特為本而衍伸，J·K·羅琳參與部分編劇。故事敘述哈利波特在打敗佛地魔後成家，身兼一家之主和三個小孩的爸爸重任，同時亦在魔法學院認真工作，案牘勞形，而過往的記憶更常常出沒在腦海，成為工作羈絆。同時，哈利波特最小的兒子Albus，不想被家族盛名牽累，常常掙扎著如何擺脫家族傳奇帶來的陰影。父子兩人發現，有時候，黑暗會出現在任何你沒注意到的時刻…

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son, Albus, must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: Sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
The playscript for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was originally released as a -special rehearsal edition- alongside the opening of Jack Thorne's play in London's West End in summer 2016. Based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne, the play opened to rapturous reviews from theatergoers and critics alike, while the official playscript became an immediate global bestseller.

This revised paperback edition updates the -special rehearsal edition- with the conclusive and final dialogue from the play, which has subtly changed since its rehearsals, as well as a conversation piece between director John Tiffany and writer Jack Thorne, who share stories and insights about reading playscripts. This edition also includes useful background information including the Potter family tree and a timeline of events from the wizarding world prior to the beginning of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
