“Jack Thorne’s spellbinding theatrical sequel to Harry Potter – with JK Rowling’s creative involvement – has marked its 10th anniversary in the West End by downsizing from two parts to one, the running-time slashed from five hours to three.” By Dominic Cavendish, Nov 5 · 5/5 stars

“Thorne and the director John Tiffany have come up with an enjoyably brisk, if occasionally opaque piece of story-telling in which the magic tricks and illusions catch the eye even when the plot twists whizz past like broomsticks caught in a hurricane.” By Clive Davis, Nov 5 · 4/5 stars
