The Upcoming Premiere Of 'Harry Potter and The Cursed Child' As Told By The Cast Of 'Harry Potter'

The Upcoming Premiere Of 'Harry Potter and The Cursed Child' As Told By The Cast Of 'Harry Potter'

In 1997, J.K. Rowling gloriously brought our beloved "Harry Potter" to life. It was quite magical, to say the least.

Through Harry's story, we learned to play Quidditch.

To correctly levitate an object.

To be yourself and not care what anyone else thinks about it.

To be brave, especially when it's difficult.

That we have a choice, even if it seems like we don't.

And most importantly, that love is the strongest power there is.

Nine years ago, we said goodbye to Harry as his story came to an end with the publication of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

Despite the happy ending, we were devastated to leave behind the characters, the magic, and especially Hogwarts.

No amount of food could fill the gaping hole in our hearts of which magic should fill.

Thankfully, J.K. started releasing more details about the characters, the plot, and more.

There are a handful of people who think the story of "Harry Potter" ended with book seven and should stay that way. And to them we say:

And if they continued on by saying things like "Why do you care so much? There just made-up stories," and "It's not even that good," well then...

All of a sudden, good ol' J.K. made a huge announcement: She wrote more, much more.

Harry's story will continue with "Harry Potter and The Cursed Child."

According to J.K., it will take place where the epilogue left off – 19 years after Harry defeated Voldemort.

The big kicker is that the new material will be performed as a play, rather than published traditionally as it had been done for the previous stories. At first, we were astonished at this revelation.

But then we realized it was an amazing idea, as per usual of Miss Rowling.

Jamie Parker is set to carry on Harry's role in the live show.

The show will be spilt into two separate parts, intended to be seen in order on the same day (matinee and evening) or on two consecutive evenings. With that said, the show is definitely a long one and we just hope food there will be food.

Rowling has once again requested that fans who see the show "keep the secrets," as they did when each book was published. In other words, she would like the story to "surprise people and move people, in the natural way that a story should surprise and move people." AKA don't pull a Hagrid.

The show opens on July 30th at the Palace Theatre London.

As if things couldn't get any better, Rowling has planned for a book version of the script to be published worldwide the very next day.

Unsurprisingly, the script for "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is already Amazon's most pre-ordered script of 2016. So head to the store early and prepare your trash talk for when someone challenges you to the last copy.

American wizards, don't be disheartened! Word on the street is the producers are currently in negotiations to bring the show to Broadway.

Now and then, a few people still feel the need to voice their unfavorable opinion of all things Harry Potter.

They ask, "Do you still love the series that much, after all this time?" And we answer the same every time:

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
