Cast photos from latest Harry Potter instalment released

Photos of the cast in costume for the new Harry Potter play have been revealed (Pottermore)

The first photos of the fully costumed cast for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child have been revealed.

The new play sets off from the end of the famous novel and film series, with Harry Potter married to Ginny Weasley and father of a young boy Albus Severus Potter.

22-year-old actor Sam Clemmett is playing the part of Albus, the cursed child to which the title refers.

Poppy Miller is playing Ginny, and Jamie Parker, famous for films like The History Boys, will play the wizard hero Harry Potter.

The photos are the first to revealing the new look of Harry the wizard hero, complete with lightning bolt scar on forehead.

JK Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany worked together on the new Potter story and it will debut at the Palace Theatre in London's theatre district in June.

For those who cannot get to London, it will be released in book form later.
