​First, I have to say what utter luck it was that we were able to come by tickets for the small time frame that we were in London.  The wizards and witches of times past were definitely looking out for us.

We arrived two hours early because we had to pick up tickets at will call and I was paranoid that something might go wrong.  The pick up went smoothly, and within a couple of minutes of our arrival I was smiling like the Cheshire cat.

My husband was totally excited too, as he never smiles in pictures and you can clearly see a lip curled up here.

Folk were repping their house colors all around (I’m Slytherin, Kirill is a Ravenclaw) so if you’re able to score tickets don’t be embarrassed about going full geek.  Part of the fun is nodding at your would-be house mates and rolling your eyes at Hufflepuffs  (maybe that’s just me?)

While I fully intend to #KeepTheSecrets , so I won’t specifically say anything about the story, I will say that the way the show was brought to life on stage is a sight to behold!  There is loads of magic happening right before your eyes, and the execution of it all is simply spectacular.  We were both in awe.

E’s  highlights:

Young Sam Clemmett (Albus Potter) and Anthony Boyle (Scorpius Malfoy) work perfectly together to bring to life a touching and often amusing bromance.  

Alex Price (Draco Malfoy) reminds me of why I’ve always loved the Draco character,  and portrays him just as I’ve ever imagined a grown up Draco to be.  A little bit dark, a little bit tortured, but someone who wants to be seen as more than his past.

K’s highlights:

The scene changes were done so cleverly, every movement was part of the story and added to the show.  Nothing felt out of place and the choreography was flawless.

The rest:

Yes, the plot tastes a little like fan fiction, but in the best possible way. In a world of magic, anything is possible after all.  If you’re an HP geek it’s a fun look at what has become of the Golden trio, and kicks off right around that epilogue we weren’t so thrilled about (maybe that’s just me too?) 

We highly suggest knocking out both parts in one day if you can manage it, I’m so glad we did.  We were both so eager to get into the second part I don’t think we could have handled waiting until the next day.  The story flows really well, you barely notice the time go by.  

We can hardly wait for the show to hit the NY stage in 2018 so that we can see it again!

If you haven’t been sorted visit Pottermore to learn which house you belong to.

If you can’t get to the show you can read the play ( it won’t ruin the experience if you do see it at some point this down the line)
