Something magical is coming to Comic-Con next week! Get all the details for the booth and panel for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child here!
I (Katie) really enjoyed The Cursed Child. It split the fandom on whether it should be considered canon, so I know it can be a touchy subject. Still, I’m stoked it’s coming to SDCC.
Next week at San Diego Comic-Con, there will be a panel and a booth dedicated to the play! The panel is Thursday, July 18, at 6:00 in Room 6BCF. The booth is #3629.
This panel sounds really interesting, and the booth is a must!
Panel audiences will get an exclusive, never before seen insight into the world of the mind-blowing stage effects of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child when the show’s Magic and Illusions Designer Jamie Harrison and his associate Chris Fisher lead “Making Magic for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – An Interactive Masterclass.” With magical demonstrations, video footage and never-before told stories from the making of the show, audiences will learn how the magicians and actors use clever techniques and cunning psychology to make the impossible seem real – they’ll even learn to perform magic themselves!
The production’s booth, on display all four days at #3629 in the Exhibit Hall, will feature Tony Award winner Christine Jones’ set model for the Broadway production, along with an actual costume worn by Jamie Parker who created the role of Harry Potter in the original West End and Broadway productions. The walls of the booth will be lined with exclusive content featured in the forthcoming book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: The Journey which will be released by Scholastic in the US on November 5, 2019. There will also be a photo booth where fans can show their Hogwarts House pride by posing with Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin banners. {Via BBBway}
