I am a 38-year-old woman, mom of two, and I love Harry Potter.
Always have, always will. I have read each of the seven books several times, know the movies by heart, and adore the section of Barnes & Noble where the trinkets and gifts inspired by the series are stacked: pretend wands, golden Snitch alarm clocks, talking Sorting Hats. I just love the magic of it all.
When I first learned Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a sequel to the series that features the three main characters children, would be staged in London in 2016, I texted the link to my husband with the words When this comes to Broadway, we re going.
