Yesterday, at London’s Palace Theatre, I experienced something quite magical, and that was just watching the audience. Harry Potter And The Cursed Child had finally arrived, and what was going on up on stage was simply extraordinary.
BritishTheatre.com is pleased to bring you this first look at some wonderful character portraits from the upcoming Harry Potter And The Cursed Child taken by photographer Charlie Gray.
