The play is referred to as “the eighth Harry Potter narrative” by Rowling.

Shut up and take my money!
The Wizarding World franchise’s production firm, Warner Bros, may be thinking about adapting the two-part play that serves as a prelude to the main story, according to sources quoted by the UK tabloid The Sun.
The Cursed Child is presently being considered for a big-screen adaptation by Warner Bros. They’ve had it in their sights since since the show became such a roaring success on the West End. The Fantastic Beasts franchise was delayed for a long due to the volume of work being done on it.
Although everyone wants Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson to return, the source also told The Sun that the studio needs scripts in place before making an offer to the actors.
The trio was among many other actors and directors that appeared in the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts reunion episode from the previous year.
JK Rowling, the creator of this series, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany worked together to create an original story that became the basis for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The events of the play occur 19 years before those in the concluding Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
