Calling all Harry Potter fans. We may not have Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in film form yet, but the book chronicling the story of the record-breaking, award-winning production and its journey to the stage could be the next best thing.

*Adds to Christmas list*

The hardback book includes photography, interviews, and never-before-seen sketches, notes, and candid backstage photos - including the one above of Tolkien's Anthony Boyle as Scorpius Malfoy, and Alex Price as Draco.

It explores Harry Potter and the Cursed Child from the earliest phases of development with producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, to the crafting of the eighth Harry Potter story with J.K. Rowling, director John Tiffany, and playwright Jack Thorne, and ultimately to the gathering of the team of artists and actors who, together, bring this new part of Harry Potter's story to life.
