Across the world, people were left wondering what the future held for the Wizarding world and their favourite Harry Potter characters. But there was hope the fantasy movie would continue, as books had a sequel stage show.

Director Christopher Colombus, who made the first two family movies in the series, has said he’d be interested in directing as well. So it sounds like we could see a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child movie one day, just not anytime soon.
