"Print and digital editions will publish simultaneously after the play's world premiere this summer, and will comprise of the version of the play script at the time of the play's preview performances.
Theatre previews allow the creative team the chance to rehearse and explore scenes further before a production's official opening night. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child opens for previews several weeks before its official first performance on Saturday 30 July and the Special Rehearsal Edition of the script book will later be replaced by a Definitive Collector's Edition.
Pottermore will bring you further updates on the Definitive Collector's Edition as we learn more."
That Definitive Collector's Edition may be even better, but since most of us won't be able to make it London for the play, it's good to know we can get a book version of this official eighth story in the "Harry Potter" canon just a day after the play opens.
"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" picks up the story after the 19-year time jump of the "Deathly Hallows" epilogue. This new script book comes out as Harry turns 36 and J.K. Rowling turns 51, so maybe we can all celebrate together by reading the story as a group.
