Author JK Rowling has asked people who go to the theater to see "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" that do not reveal anything related to the story so as not to spoil the plot to the rest of the people who will see it later.
Reduced price previews for the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" began Tuesday with the author and the production team asking the newspaper's critics to wait eight weeks before publishing their comments..
“You have been amazing for many years at keeping secrets related to the Harry Potter stories, not spoiling the story for other people who come later to enjoy it. So I ask you once again to keep the secrets and let the public enjoy "Harry Potter and the cursed child" with all the surprises that we have prepared in history. »
The impact of the leaks made on social networks will be greater because the work will not be released until July 30. West End theater shows usually wait a fortnight after the preview, giving the actors time to master their performances.
"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is found located 19 years after the seventh and last book in the saga "Harry Potter", which has sold more than 450 million copies worldwide since its publication in 1997. Likewise, this saga has been adapted into a total of eight films, the last book being adapted into two films. . Like many of the fans who have followed his story since childhood, Harry Potter has grown up to have three children with his wife Ginny Weasley, the sister of his friend Ron, and is currently working at the Ministry of Magic.
The anticipation has been building for months, including the expectation of the actors themselves. Jamie Parker, the 36-year-old actor who will play the adult Harry Potter, told the Pottermore website:
“These are the stories that people have lived through their entire lives, that they have grown up with and now they are adults who are reintegrated into the story, picking up the story where they left off. And I am one of them. "
Harry Potter leaks are nothing newThere have been several leaks prior to the publication of the books, although these have not always been successful. The UK spy agency intervened to prevent the extraction of information from the sixth installment of Harry Potter. Had been found posted on the internet what looked like an early copy of the book. To resolve this major leak, they contacted the publisher but turned out to be nothing more than a falsification of history.
Another "Harry Potter" leak occurred when Internet hackers managed to infiltrate the 10 million dollar security operation surrounding the publication of the seventh book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", with the photos of pages and chapter titles.
The "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" play is written by English screenwriter and playwright Jack Thorne and is based on an original story co-written by Rowling and John Tiffany, who is directing the play.
«We have asked people to keep our secret for the last 64 years and they do it because they feel they have had a good show and they want their friends to be able to enjoy the same play as well. If Harry Potter fans think the same way, then it bodes well. «
Here is the video they have built for those who are going to see "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" before its premiere. In the video you can see the author asking her fans, in English, to keep their opinions after watching it and not reveal anything as they have been doing until then.
