J.K. Rowling’s spinoff was nominated for Best Costume Design, Best Actor, Best Director and Outstanding Achievement in Music, to name a few.
“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” follows the adult life of Harry Potter as he continues to grapple with his past. Unfortuantely, his youngest son Albus is not spared from the weight of a family legacy he did not want.
