Best show i've ever seen
"It was amazing, we came from the UK so it was the only show we chose to see when we were here visiting and it was worth every penny! The seats were great we had a great view, and the show well, it was amazing, so clever, loved all of the special effects, the lighting effects were something we've never seen before. Can't wait for it to come on tour in the UK, it's something I can't wait to see again!!"

It’s a MaGiC show!
"My daughter and I are HUGE HP fans. We have the entire village, a patronus, hedwig, and snitch out all year. We have a HP Xmas tree theme. Etc. My daughter was capitivated by the show, as was I. Even my husband enjoyed it. He who has never read the books but has watched most of the movies. Loved the polyjuice potion changes and graffitti scenes most! Can’t miss!!!"

A great play with amazing effects
"A great trip to the theatre for our two boys (9 and 11) who were amazed by the effects and found the time passed incredibly quickly. A slightly confusing story initially if they’re not familiar with the accompanying book but the material and effects carried them through to having a great time. Extremely expensive snacks though!"

Action packed from beginning to the end
"I had no idea what the show was going to be about, and that was on purpose. I didn’t want any spoilers. It was amazing from the beginning to the end. The stunts, the story, the acting, and some of the special effects were so cool to see. I’ve been to many shows in my life, and this one will never be forgotten. "

Beyond Expectations
"I am a life long HP fan so I was expecting to enjoy this but the production went way beyond my expections. You could enjoy this show just for the special effects and staging but if you are familiar with the stories you will get so much more out of it. In fact, to follow the story line you need to have read/watched everything through The Goblet of Fire. The actors did a wonderful job Even the slightest of their movements have been choreographed …. Diggery’s facial and body ticks, all the swishing robes during transitions. I was worried it would seem too long with a 2.5 hour run time but I was mesmerized and time flew by just like with a time turner. Highly recommend this show. My only caveauts are that is difficult at times to understand the dialog when the characters rush through it with fake British accents. I would not bring small children or children that can’t sit still or frighten easily. I was in the 4 th row and the special effects were not ruined by being so close but might be appreciated more sitting a bit further back center. "

Better than expected!
"I didn’t know much of the story and thought it would be a failed sequel from the original story, but I was surprised. The acting was very good, the story was engaging and the visual effects were a show apart! "

Amazing special effects!
" Very in line with the book. Helps to have read it to keep up/follow along. Outstanding special effects! My kids (14, 12) loved it. I thought it was a musical, so it took me awhile to adjust to the fact that it was not! But a very well done performance. "
