The place was packed out with fans counting down until midnight

JK Rowling has been praising the fans of the series for not sharing Cursed Child spoilers after seeing the stage version in London.

And then people finally got their hands on it

The wait was over.

It’s been nine years since the Deathly Hallows, and Harry Potter fans have finally got their hands on a new story.
