Today, the Rowling Library has reported that two publishers have bid for the rights to print “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” as a physical book, which would no doubt thrill fans around the world who are unable to make it to London to see the play.
The Internet has been abuzz since last month when the actors cast as Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the stage play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” were announced, and most of the attention has focused on the fact that the actress cast as Hermione, Noma Dumezweni, is black. Dumezweni spoke to the “Standard” recently in response to her critics, saying that though she had previously experienced some “unconscious” prejudice while auditioning for roles, never before had anyone outwardly questioned her ability to play a character because of the color of her skin.

J.K. Rowling and Jack Thorne, the writer of the upcoming stage play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, have both taken to social media to address the controversy surrounding the recent casting announcements.
“Harry Potter” fans have a lot of feelings about the upcoming play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, which premieres this summer on London’s West End and will be told in two consecutive installments. Many feel that the limited availability of the play – only fans in the UK or wealthy enough to travel there will be able to see it when it premieres – is a detriment, but that hasn’t stopped the show from selling a TON of tickets.
“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” has cast its Harry, Ron, and Hermione!
