The Cursed Child – Muggle Worthy Case

#First portraits of Australian Cursed Child cast in costume revealed

Australian Potterheads keep your wands ready cause the play of Harry Potter and The Cursed Child has landed even there. Here we can have a look at the cast for the first time:

Here we have the Potters family with: Gareth Revees as Harry Potter, Lucy Goleby as Ginny Weasley, and Sean Rees-Wemyss as Albus.

One thing Sean could’t see the time to hold was a wand, he said an interview that holding a wand is the best feeling ever, and that he had been waiting this moment since the 2005 when he first read Harry Potter and appassionate to them.

And here we have Granger -Weasley Family with: Gyton Grantley as Ronald Weasley, Paula Arundell as Hermione Granger, and Manali Datar as Rose Granger-Weasley.

Manali spoke about the time-travelling she did herself when she donned the costume: ‘I love the robes, I love getting into character it really helps me feel like a thirteen-year-old, which I haven’t felt like in a while.’

And least but not last, we have the Malfoy family: Tom Wren as Draco Malfoy, and William McKenna as Scorpius Malfoy.

For William, the costume really sealed the deal when it came to inhabiting his character: ‘It feels weird, you can have all your preconceived ideas and you can create the character but once the wig and costume is on, you know, it’s finally like “oh, hello! There he is. There’s Scorpius.”’

This cast I must say it’s actually well done. The boys actually resemble the idea I had about them reading The Cursed Child

Rose actually have the face of a “pain in the ***” girl lol, the one that complains about everything, that follows you around just to let you know you’re not doing it properly, as a matter of fact, like mother like daughter. Scorpius in my opinion is the one whose actors are always quite right. He give the idea of a Slytherin different from the others for the first time in eight films, he has a good face that seems to tell everyone “I’m just trying to get accepted”.

Even the “adults” I think are quite right this time, Hermione Granger actually give me the idea of a career woman, independent, and very strong. While her husband actually seem like the uncle that tries to make everyone laugh with terrible jokes at Christmas. Draco as always impeccable; And the Potters, she really looks like Ginny, and Harry… he seems almost James. Amazing.

Obviously even this time we’d like to give our best wishes to the cast and we are sure that the show will be incredible. To anyone who hasn’t purchased their tickets yet, you can find them here:

Frühjahr 2020

If you’re based in Germany and simply dying to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: your time has come. Or at least – it nearly has. On 25 March 2019, the play will release its tickets for the upcoming German language production.

Finally even YOUR time has come, after the celebration of the 20th years of Harry Potter with this amazing new edition of the German Books:

Even The Cursed Child show has sailed to Germany! From March 2020 you’ll be able to book you ticket to see the play in Hamburg in 2020.

Even more signing up right now at this link: https://www.harry-potter-theater.de you’ll have the chance of booking the tickets in advance before anyone else!

J.K. Rowling who worked side by side with Jack Thorne in order to make up this production says:

‘Hamburg feels a very big step for us, because it’s the first time we are going to a non- English-speaking theatre. That’s going to be an interesting extension of this idea, and we are very excited about it!’

‘I am looking forward immensely to working with the incredible talent within the acting and wider theatre communities in Germany,’ added John, with Jack enthusing that he ‘can’t wait to see the magic they make’.

Well said! We can’t wait neither, now for us but more for you German Wizards and Witches, we need to wait and the choice of the cast, will be consistence with the Brodway’s one and the London’s one?

The Cursed Child – Brodway Cast

As you well know “The Cursed Child”, the sequel of the Harry Potter saga, already spopulated in London’s Theatre, also soaring up a lot of discussion regarding the choice of the actors and their consistence with the original Harry Potter cast.

Now that the theatral opera, spopulated all over the world, the Brodway Cast has been chosen, will it be more truthful of the London one? Let’s take a closer look:

First Row from the left Jaime Snyder, Nadia Brown, Jonno Roberts
Second Row from the left Matt Mueller, Dianne Davis, Bubba Weiler
Sitted in front line from the left Jenny Jules, Nicholas Podany

Jamie Snyder as Harry Potter. If you imagine a scar put upon his forhead I must say, he’s pretty close to our Harry, even for the form of the jaw, and the nose.

Dianne Davis as Ginny Weasley. Well, what to say? Surely not as we remembered her, but maybe with a red wig we won’t notice the difference, will we?

Nicholas Podany as Albus Severus Potter. Well, one-hundred and fifty points to Slytherin. He surely does seem a Slytherin guy to me, and for sure he has some features in common with his father’s family, especially the eyes.

Matt Mueller as Ronald Weasley. Let’s just say that for sure Molly would be concerned about how much weight his son has lost.

Jenny Jules as Hermione Granger. Well… like in London cast we see immediately a problem in confront to our well-known Hermione… well… how to say… she’s taken a little bit too much sun. Now not that this is a ratial problem, only that if you chose a caucasic actress for eight years… then she can’t magically become dark skinned, it’s just consistency. If she would have been dark-skinned from the beginning we would have loved her so!

Nadia Brown as Rose Granger-Weasley. Well… like mother like daughter.

Jonno Roberts as Draco Malfoy. Here for sure we find some similitudes, like the glacial eyes; Still, even if not a perfect choice, it’s a great one. With a blond wig I trust he’ll be a perfect Malfoy Senior.

Bubba Weiler as Scorpius Malfoy. A little out of the range, a strange kind of beauty.. personally I find him very fitted for his role. I trust he’ll give justice to Scorpius’s character, this face not too much harsh, but a little bit impressionable, is what describes at the best the role he’s playing.

In conclusion this cast just like the English one does not reflect fondly the features of the characters we used to know in the books. And it’s nothing personal, but just imagine a world where Cho Chang was a caucasic girl kissing Harry Potter a chinese boy, it’s just strange, because for twenty years we’ve been used to our character as we saw them in films and described in books.

Said this we would like of course to offer our best wishes to the Brodway cast for their performance, we trust that for sure you’ll do a great show giving justice to our love ones.
