Not Necessarily a Harry Potter Fan
"I went to the show because my daughter is a huge HP fan. Me, not so much. However, I enjoyed every minute of the show! I knew only the basics of HP, but I was able to easily follow the performance. The magical effects were great. I highly recommend!"

Excellent story, set, and acting
"This was an amazing first Broadway show experience. The acting, set, and magic were outstanding. It was a great continuation of the story. It took a little bit to remember who the main characters were and their backstory, so I would recommend a refresher on the main characters if it's been awhile. The storyline was fun, and the set and effects blew me away. It was a good three hours, so keep that in mind for younger kids. Highly recommend the show. "

Fantastic Show, Great Experience
"So much to say about this fantastic stage production. Everything was superb. Storyline has been commented on in many reviews - agree with all that’s been written. What made is extra special was the theater and the staff. Top notch. Made it fun, immersive and engaging. "

The Malfoys Steal the Show!
"I came for Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy, but stayed for Scorpius Malfoy. Everything that came out of that character's mouth made me either laugh or want to hug him! And Felton brought a whole other, more mature layer to the character he originated onscreen! Both their relationships with the Potters were the heart of the play. Seriously, didn't think the Malfoys would end up my favorite characters. The effects also make the whole perfirmance feel like a magic show with illusions that left our heads scratching! Even with a whole other cast, you'll be blown away by the spectacle alone. If you bring kids, although they might be a little scared, they'll be left believing magic is real!"

What a Magical Experience!
"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was such a magical experience for our family. I didn't know what to expect and was blown away with how great the show and overall production were. Our 14 year teenager who has read some of the books and watched the movies greatly enjoyed the experience. There were a few spots in the show that might be scary for younger children. The production cast did a great job. The applause for Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) when he came on stage lasted for at least 5 minutes. My favorite actor of the show was Aidan Close who played Scorpius Malfoy. He was very fun to watch and did an amazing job. The production efforts of this show were top notch. How they transitioned between scenes was seamless and well done. I really enjoyed how they used the stairs on the set to simulate the multiple stairs in Hogwarts by spinning them and moving them. It was so creative and fun to watch. There are so many details and surprises from the show that you will just have to go see for yourselves. We ordered some butter beer and ate some candy. It was really easy to order snacks using the QR code from your seat and they deliver it directly to your seat. We bought a pin specific to the New York show, but they had a lot of other souvenirs to buy. I would highly recommend everyone who is a Harry Potter fan to go see this Broadway show. What a magical experience it was!"

Awesome Special Effects
"The show was hurried in the beginning to catch you up on several items in the plot - but overall was amazing! Great story, outstanding special effects, and of course - Tom Felton! The whole cast was great, but Tom reprised his role in a such a way that I truly believe only he can do. The actor playing his son was also really memorable. This was such a spectacular show for my family - but remember, you should be familiar with the Harry Potter series at least up to the fourth movie for this plot to be clear."

10 Points for Slytherin!
"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child can simply be described in one word. MAGICAL. I found the energy and pacing of the show to be perfect and the score and choreography to be so incredibly creative. There are SEVERAL breathtaking moments in this show, my jaw was on the floor at times. The Lyric theater is beautiful, and the crew there were lovely to interact with. Tom Felton as Draco was just icing on the cake. "

Great mother daughter trip!
"My daughter (who is 22) and I loved the show! There are a few parts that can be frightening so be careful with smaller children. But if you grew up reading the books, you will LOVE this play!!"

"This show was absolutely incredible! My first time on Broadway and I surprised my 12 year old daughter for a girl’s trip - we were both blown away and are still raving about it! The story was fun and the effects were amazing. And while we were outside before the show, Tom Felton came up to us! What a cool guy and wonderful for fans. We will be back!"

Beyond expectations!
"This was my first on Broadway experience. I was a bit hesitant as it is not a musical. However, as a big Harry Potter fan, I really wanted to see this production. It was beyond what I expected. Not only was the acting superb, but the production and visual effects were quite literally magical. I texted my daughter at intermission that I might have to believe in magic after this show. It was great! I would see again if the opportunity happened without a second thought. Thanks for an amazing experience. "
