You may have heard that there'll be a Harry Potter stage play opening in London next year called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child...
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.
It will tell a new story, which is the result of a collaboration between writer Jack Thorne, director John Tiffany and myself. #CursedChild
But while you might be excited to learn more about The Boy Who Lived, J.K. Rowling wants you to know something important first:
However, I can say that it is not a prequel! #CursedChild
She really, REALLY wants you to know something:
#CursedChild NOT a prequel. Lots of people asking, so I thought I'd say that again! NOT a prequel!
You might think Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a prequel, but you'd be wrong.
NOT a prequel. Not. A. Prequel. #CursedChild https://t.co/OLAucrEppE
WRONG.
Not if it isn't a prequel. https://t.co/pb0DMEf4xw
SO WRONG.
Sadly, not a prequel. I thought I'd said that at some point. Anyway. Not a prequel. https://t.co/EPOmpVXFcl
Have you heard? Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is definitely not a prequel.
I can't remember whether I've mentioned this, but Harry Potter & the #CursedChild isn't a prequel.
Not.
.@gorgosprizza Sorry, I thought I'd said! #CursedChild isn't a prequel.
A.
Funny, a lot of people are asking that! But no, I can exclusively reveal that #CursedChild isn't a prequel. https://t.co/AJd5wamugn
Prequel.
Ah, I can see where you've got that idea, but in fact it ISN'T a prequel. https://t.co/vAsTcwGWjy
It is very possible that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is not a prequel.
You are getting very warm indeed when you say that it is *possible* that #CursedChild isn't a prequel. https://t.co/B6QPUV0mxa
But maybe it is a prequel??
You know what? I'm starting to wonder. Maybe it is. https://t.co/Vh7yaCKP2c
NOPE. NOT A PREQUEL.
IT'S NOT A... oh, will someone else please take over? https://t.co/nXT82YF1xa
Definitely not.
Well, obviously I like to keep things mysterious, so I'll just say Prequel. A. Not. It's. https://t.co/gbougs635Q
Never has anything been less of a prequel.
You're right, I have been guilty of shameful ambiguity in this matter. It isn't a prequel. https://t.co/ep6InUxL20
If anything, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is an anti-prequel:
.@CNBCWorld It's not a prequel. It really, really isn't a prequel. Not a prequel. Not at all prequelly. It is an anti-prequel. #NotAPrequel
