Amazing!
"Took both my boys, 20 and 17. The 20 y/o has been an HP fan since he was young, the 17y/o is hit or miss. Both were absolutely blown away!! I walk around daily with an HP tattoo so it was beyond mind-blowing for me. Worth every penny!!"

My childhood...
"I thought that the show was great! My first Broadway show, and the acting, music, and transitions between every condensed act was great. Even better that Tom Felton was there as Draco Malfoy; I even got teary."

Great Performance - Be Prepared
"Amazing special effects, but review the play summary and refresh yourself on The Goblet of Fire story line. Much of the play is based on what happened in Goblet. So be prepared, as the play moves quickly. Great themes of fear and misunderstanding, of growth and redemption, of shunning and acceptance. Sure you have to let yourself go a little, but that’s part of unplugging from our daily lives. Remember to read up on both Goblet of Fire and the play summary and you’ll really enjoy it. Would not say it’s for children. Too difficult for them to keep straight and enjoy. Teens will get it and likely enjoy it. But will need to read up as I mentioned. Have a great time! "

Magical
"Loved this play, at first I thought oh my goodness they are not taking time to develop the characters and then I realize we know all the characters with the exception of Albus, Scorpious and Adelphi and they did take the time to develop those characters. It was a great time. My only regret is that I didn’t pay extra for better seats at stage level because there were some stuff that happened with The audience that I missed being in the balcony. "

Great show with great special effects!
"My 13yo Harry Potter loving son was amazed by this show. I liked it as well, but I’m more of the musical type. However, to see the way this show captivated him was amazing within itself. Definitely would recommend this show. It truly did have some magical moments. "

Amazing Special Effects
"I would definitely recommend children above the age of 10. The last few scenes caused a younger child in the audience to cry. The special effects were amazing & I was really impressed with the story line. That being said if you haven’t read the books you maybe lost like my husband."
