While Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will continue on Broadway, it is, in a way, an end of an era for Potterheads. Jamie Parker, Anthony Boyle, and Noma Dumezweni have been around since the Wizarding World production first performed on the West End. To a lot of fans, they are Harry, Hermione, and Scorpius. So to see them go will be sad.

I am sure the new cast members will be superb on stage and will deliver an amazing performance night after night to Potterheads. But, for some. It won’t be the same. There is just something about seeing original cast members perform.

Where Jamie Parker, Anthony Boyle, and Noma Dumezweni will go now is unclear. The casting announcements have only just been announced, and the change is not happening until 2019. So they themselves might not know yet.

Some fans will be hoping they will just be moving to a new venue and will continue playing their roles. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is on the way to San Fransisco so you never know, they could be moving over to the West Coast. Then again, they could be starting a new production, or maybe retiring. Who knows. Right now, it’s anybody guess.

We will just have to wait and see.
