As a new Harry Potter will appear on bookshelves after nine years, avid fans are leaving no stone unturned to welcome the much anticipated eighth saga.
When "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" hits the bookshelves on July 31 at 11. 30 a. m. (global release), the fever will be at its peak going by the fanfare it has created.
"Once again this is going to be a publishing sensation as the magic continues from where it left off in book seven.
The rave reactions from fans, post the London previews clearly indicate that this is another classic Harry Potter, " said Thomas Abraham, Managing Director of Hachette India, the publisher.
From fan events to parties in bookstores and popular hubs in metros to other cultural shows, Potter fans want to make it a memorable experience.
The eighth story begins where the seventh book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" concludes.
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 in the new book, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes darkness comes from unexpected places.
