19 years after what happened at Hogwarts made famous by the books and films, Harry Potter is a 37-year-old father of three children and works in the Law Enforcement Department of the Magic Ministry. The youngest son, Albus, follows in the footsteps of his father, who once won the heroic battle against Lord Voldemort, at Hogwarts Wizard School.
Harry Potter's former past always catches up with him, as his son of all people befriends the son of his former arch-enemy Draco Malfoy. With an exciting twist in the story, Albus steals a time reverser against Harry Potter's will and lets the past merge with the present. The long contested peace of the land is in danger and Harry Potter's adventure continues with much magic, numerous dark magic arts and finally the hope that everything will turn out for the better.
Alohomora! With the new play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the world of magic opens up to you. The play, which was celebrated on Broadway, is now also thrilling at the Hamburg Mehr! Theater am Großmarkt. The production consists of two performances. Between the parts there is time to buy chocolate frogs, eat something tasty or take photos in the lovingly designed foyer.
There is a lot of magic in the world of Harry Potter and this is transferred to the stage of the theatre performance. With surprising effects and an impressive scenery, the audience is amazed: Wasn't there real magic involved after all?
The play is accompanied musically by four suites, each of which characterises an act of the play. Grammy and Ivor Novello Award winner Imogen Heap created the music especially for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
From the end of October 2024, audiences can expect a fresh ensemble for the successful production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in Hamburg. With 25 new cast members, it is the biggest cast change since the premiere in 2021. Laurens Walter takes on the role of Harry Potter, while Anna Hofbauer stands by his side as Ginny Potter. Harry's son Albus will also be recast: Cedric Schröter will play him in future, accompanied by Safiyah Galvani as Rose Granger-Weasley and Lukas Kenfenheuer as Scorpius Malfoy. Simon Mehlich slips into the role of Draco Malfoy, and Oliver Morschel takes on the part of Ron Weasley. The magical trio around Harry Potter is thus complete.
