Barnes & Noble reports that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts I & II is the company's most pre-ordered book since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 2007. Stores across the country are currently preparing to host Countdown to Midnight Magic parties beginning July 30 at 8 p.m., leading up to the midnight release.
The stage production opens July 30 at London's Palace Theatre. It's been in previews since July 7 but the review embargo was lifted only yesterday and the reviews are extremely positive with many noting that the eighth story is tailor made for the theater.
It is rumored that producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender are seeking a theatre for a Broadway opening, 'possibly next season' after a North American premiere in Toronto.
