J. K. Rowling Really Wants You To Know This Fact About The New Harry Potter Play

There was one thing Rowling wanted to emphasise of her collaboration in the new Harry Potter stage play: it will NOT be a prequel.

The Harry Potter fandom reignited when news of a Harry Potter play will be debuting onstage in 2016

I'm also very excited to confirm today that a new play called Harry Potter and the #CursedChild will be opening in London next year.

But is it a prequel?

J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling

Sadly, not a prequel. I thought I'd said that at some point. Anyway. Not a prequel. https://t.co/EPOmpVXFcl

J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling

Well, obviously I like to keep things mysterious, so I'll just say Prequel. A. Not. It's. https://t.co/gbougs635Q

You're right, I have been guilty of shameful ambiguity in this matter. It isn't a prequel. https://t.co/ep6InUxL20
