This is the central conflict of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the touring Broadway production playing at the Keller Auditorium through Aug. 15. Reconciling first loves and childhood fixations is also a problem many Harry Potter fans have been forced to grapple with. Cursed Child by Jack Thorne features grown-up versions of the main Harry Potter crew and a next-gen twist. Even within the confines of the Potterverse, even with the conflict among the fans, connection is the pervading theme of Cursed Child.
