The magic of Hogwarts is coming to Buenos Aires! The premiere of the official production of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” at the Belgrano Auditorium has been confirmed for 2027. Find out all the details, what the staging will be like, and what’s known about the auditions.
Attention, Potterheads! If you’ve been counting down the days for news about the wizarding world in our country, get ready—2027 is going to be a big year. It’s just been confirmed that the Belgrano Auditorium will host the Argentine version of the multi-award-winning British play that took London and Broadway by storm.
Here’s everything you need to know so you don’t miss out on the most anticipated theatrical event.
Is it a Harry Potter musical?
To clear up any confusion right from the start: no, it’s not a musical. It’s a play based on the original story written by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany.
The version you’ll see in Buenos Aires is the High School Edition. This special edition allows local productions to create their own set design, costumes, and magic tricks, promising a massive visual spectacle designed entirely by an Argentine team.
What “The Cursed Child” is about
If you’ve read the script or seen reviews, you already know that the story takes place 19 years after the iconic Battle of Hogwarts. We’re reunited with Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they navigate their complex adult lives, but the main focus is on the new generation—especially Albus Severus Potter, who must cope with the weight of his family name as he begins his own journey at the school of magic.
Mixed-gender cast and open auditions
One of the biggest surprises of this production is that the cast will consist of a mix of professional actors and theater students.
If you’ve always dreamed of putting on the robes, pay attention: the production team has announced that auditions will open soon to find the young actors who will play the Hogwarts students. No exact dates or requirements have been published yet, but at Baires Secreta we’ll update the info as soon as the call for auditions goes live so you can apply. In the meantime, follow the Instagram profile @auditoriobelgrano because as soon as auditions open for the Harry Potter play, they’ll announce it there.
