 Pre order Harry Potter and Cursed Child

We are now taking pre-orders for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. To pre-order, simply come into Hooray for Books! or call (703) 548-4092 during regular business hours.

The cursed child tells the story of Harry Potter and his son, Albus Severus Potter, nineteen years after the conclusion of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. From the marketing description: 

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

We will be holding a midnight release party for this title on July 30, 2016.

Want the latest recommendations for children's books? We're adding new reviews to our blog every week, along with insider book news. So check back regularly – and be sure to comment and post your own reviews! 



If we happen to be sold out when you come to the store, or if we don't carry the book you're looking for, don't worry: we can order any book in print (for children AND for adults) and we can usually have a copy to you in 2-3 days. 

Running low on time? We take phone orders, and can have gifts wrapped and ready to go. Out-of-town relatives looking for suggestions? We offer gift registry services and can work with you to create a reader's wish list. We have gift certificates, too. Call us at 703-548-4092.
