Simply Amazing!
"The magic along with the acting was superb. It didn’t feel like a 3 hour show. It was so captivating, so well done that time flew by. Everything was amazing, no complaints at all. "

Worth the trip from Alaska!
"The play started a little slow, but rapidly picked up to an engaging next story in the Harry Potter timeline. The effects were amazing! Highly recommend sitting in the dress circle…but I won’t ruin the surprise by telling you why. Much like the final movie, we thought the ending was a little underwhelming, but still well worth the trip from Alaska to see!"

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."

The magic effect were fantastic
"The theater is awesome. Plenty to do if you arrive early for the show. The show itself exceeded my expectations. The magic effects were tremendous. I think young kids might get scared at the loud noises and lights, but older Harry Potter fans will delight in the show. "

Unexpectedly Great
"Special effects and scenery changes were excellent. I took my daughter and my granddaughter (her first broadway show) They read all the books and watched the movies and could follow with that knowledge. I had not, but I still enjoyed the show and they were able to help with the context of each scene."

Unexpected Awe!
"My 15-year old daughter and I were able to snag tickets at the last minute to Harry Potter, and we absolutely loved it! The special effects, the magic, & the cast were excellent! The only reason I am not giving it a 5-star review is that we had trouble hearing the dialogue at times. We were in the last row of the floor seating. Other than, great show!"
