The play “Harry Potter and The Cursed Child” is about two pretty best wizard friends: The sons of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy get to know each other and love each other – and stick together even when their fathers want to divide them. If you’re expecting slapstick , you will be surprised with a chamber play. If you expect singing, you will instead be presented with wordplay, for which you should already be able to speak English quite well. Knowing the backstory also helps to understand the plot. But then it is a pleasure to follow the dialogue, to watch how the actors slide through the – burning – fireplace onto the stage or are swallowed by the bookshelf and spit out again with a belch. The furnishings are comparatively purist, the lighting and effects are impressive. You still need a seat, because anyone who watches both parts of the piece will spend a total of more than four hours in the red velvet armchairs.
