Screw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, where it is at, is Puffs!
By Callum Gunn
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child might be storming Broadway right now but Puffs is the real stage play you want to be watching.
While everyone is ranting and raving about how marvelous and successful Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is, and to be fair it is, it dominated The West End and is blowing everyone away on Broadway right now, so much so that it received 6 Outer Critics Circle awards. Yet the real stage performance that everyone should really be talking about is Puffs.
The much lighter, much more fun stage performance based on the Wizarding World, it pokes fun at all those little silly bits of the story that we all know and love. For example, Dumbledore just handing out random house points at the end of the year.

It centers on the Hogwarts houses that is undoubtedly the most loyal and most prideful house, yet the one that is the most overlooked, Hufflepuffs, hence the name Puffs.
The house that always gets mocked, always gets ignored and always gets the raw end of the deal. Yet despite all of that, they come out, holding their heads up high, proving to all of us that they really are the best. No really, Hufflepuff is ranked the best of them all.
Puffs
The off-broadway production is ideal for the more casual Harry Potter fan but even diehard fans would enjoy this much more light-hearted version of the story as well. Nerdist shared an exclusive clip of the production in action so you can see exactly what Puffs is all about.
