The two-part play, which is set 19 years after the events of the Deathly Hallows, follows both the now middle-aged Harry and his son Albus, who is just starting at Hogwarts. The play’s script was released at midnight on Sunday, giving fans who couldn't score tickets to the West End show the chance to follow the latest adventure.
