Yesterday, the famous writer Joan Rowling had a double celebration: she celebrated her 51st birthday and published the 8th book about the wizard, which appeared on the shelves of bookstores in the UK on July 31.
Joan said goodbye to Harry Potter
After the fans of the book "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" began to buy it with a crazy speed Rowling, made a small statement for the press:
"Today, my last book about an unusual wizard and his friends was published. With Harry Potter, I think it's time to say goodbye. He has come a very long way. On the one hand, it pains me to realize that I will not write more about the hero I love, but on the other, he grew up, and it's time to give way to other, younger characters. "
A performance was staged in the book
In addition to the release of the book, the end of July was marked by the premiere of a play on the novel at the London Palace Theater. The play lovers of miracles and fans of Harry Potter novels waited impatiently. This is understandable from the fact that tickets for the premiere were sold out in a few hours. By the way, Joan Rowling has repeatedly attended rehearsals, and, of course, appeared at the premiere. At the end of the play, the writer with the actors bowed.
In addition to Joan Rowling at the premiere was the mayor of London, Sadik Khan, who said a few words to the press:
"I am very happy that the people of our country became the first who could enjoy this play. I am sure that such a worthy creation will soon be seen not only by the UK, but by the whole world. I, for example, know that rehearsals have already begun on Broadway. I really liked the performance, and the plot for me was a complete surprise. "Read also
