Aside from the play's synopsis, plot details are shrouded in secrecy at the moment. From the sounds of it, though, Scorpius Malfoy is going to play a big part.

"I really liked the character of Scorpius Malfoy and seeing Harry, Ron and Hermione grown up," an audience member called Natalie, from Ohio, told the BBC. "I think they did the magic on stage really well."

Before the play, J.K. Rowling tweeted a special good luck message to Anthony Boyle, who plays Draco's son.
