The internet is already abuzz with chatter about who the boy/girl (it's hard to tell, in fairness) in the black winged Snitch next could be – is it Lupin? Is it Snape? Or is it a brand new character we haven't even met yet?

Rowling's already given it her seal of approval anyway, so it must be fairly faithful to the tale, which is DEFINITELY not a prequel by the way.

Harry Potter and The Cursed Child will be staged in two parts when it hits the West End next year. "If you see the play on a weekday, you'll be able to see the second part within the same week," a spokesperson for Rowling told RadioTimes.com. "If you see it at the weekend, you'll see it over the two consecutive days."
