Dear everyone involved in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in Melbourne,
Thank you for all your incredible work. Thank you to the company and creative team who’ve done such a magnificent job. John’s kept me up to date with everything that’s been going on-. And I swear, if I could Apparate, I’d be there on the opening night. One of these days I’ll turn up, I’m sure.
In the meantime, hugest congratulations on your opening at the Princess Theatre. My heart is in Oz tonight.
With love,
J.K. Rowling.
