A great play with amazing effects
"A great trip to the theatre for our two boys (9 and 11) who were amazed by the effects and found the time passed incredibly quickly. A slightly confusing story initially if they’re not familiar with the accompanying book but the material and effects carried them through to having a great time. Extremely expensive snacks though!"

Action packed from beginning to the end
"I had no idea what the show was going to be about, and that was on purpose. I didn’t want any spoilers. It was amazing from the beginning to the end. The stunts, the story, the acting, and some of the special effects were so cool to see. I’ve been to many shows in my life, and this one will never be forgotten. "

Beyond Expectations
"I am a life long HP fan so I was expecting to enjoy this but the production went way beyond my expections. You could enjoy this show just for the special effects and staging but if you are familiar with the stories you will get so much more out of it. In fact, to follow the story line you need to have read/watched everything through The Goblet of Fire. The actors did a wonderful job Even the slightest of their movements have been choreographed …. Diggery’s facial and body ticks, all the swishing robes during transitions. I was worried it would seem too long with a 2.5 hour run time but I was mesmerized and time flew by just like with a time turner. Highly recommend this show. My only caveauts are that is difficult at times to understand the dialog when the characters rush through it with fake British accents. I would not bring small children or children that can’t sit still or frighten easily. I was in the 4 th row and the special effects were not ruined by being so close but might be appreciated more sitting a bit further back center. "

Better than expected!
"I didn’t know much of the story and thought it would be a failed sequel from the original story, but I was surprised. The acting was very good, the story was engaging and the visual effects were a show apart! "

Amazing special effects!
" Very in line with the book. Helps to have read it to keep up/follow along. Outstanding special effects! My kids (14, 12) loved it. I thought it was a musical, so it took me awhile to adjust to the fact that it was not! But a very well done performance. "

Absolutely magical
"What an absolutely amazing show! My son and I just finished reading the Harry Potter books and had to come see this show. It did not disappoint. Not only was the story fantastic but the performances, magic and lighting was insane. I’ve never seen such a show before that I truly thought I was in the wizarding world. Even my husband who hasn’t read or watched the Harry Potter movies thought it was one of the best shows he has ever seen! "

AMAZING SHOW!
"I’ve recently gotten into harry potter, so when we had a trip planned to NYC we decided to go to this show. I went in without knowing anything about it, but WOW, the whole show was fantastic. I laughed, I cried, I smiled. It also felt immersive with the dementors & lights & magic tricks. Everything from the books/movies felt woven into the play so beautifully. However, I did sit next to a family that had 3 kids under 10 years old. They kept saying “I don’t get what’s happening” to their mom. With the dementors, the one child started to cry. Therefore, I’d say if you are a kid not into harry potter- or a person who has never seen the movies/read the books- it may be a bit confusing. Final Note: Besides the play being the highlight of the trip, the butter-beer at the concession stand was so fun… and so good. "

MAGICAL (Pun intended)
"Wow, what an experience for my 1st broadway show. Highly recommend, and also recommend getting their early to experience the lobby area. I'm a big Harry Potter fan but had no idea about the plot of this play and would say that it made the experience more fun not knowing what was in store. Would also recommend making sure to explore the lobby at the intermission as well for a cool surprise."

"Even though I’m a die hard HP fan and am not really impressed with the story itself, the special effects alone make this show worth it! It felt like real magic. Several times it had us gasping in awe"

Great show
"I thought the special effects were amazing! I liked the story line but at times it was hard to hear the actors. It was great for Harry Potter fans. I would suggest children over 10 that are not easily frightened."
