Hamburg – Sad news for “Harry Potter” fans in Hamburg.
The German premiere of the play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” has been postponed for the second time.
The premiere was planned for March 15, but was postponed to autumn due to the corona virus. Now the organizers are postponing the start again, this time to April 11, 2021. As the organizer announced on Tuesday, the play by bestselling author Joanne K. Rowling could not premiere on October 4 as planned. “We have tried everything in the last weeks and months to find a way so that the premiere of“ Harry Potter and the Cursed Child ”can take place as planned in October. Unfortunately, the regulations of the city of Hamburg to contain the coronavirus do not yet allow us to resume gaming, ”said Managing Director Maik Klokow.

Reason: Distance rules on and behind the stage as well as in the audience cannot be observed. The maximum audience limit of 650 people in the current general decree of the City of Hamburg makes profitable gaming operations impossible.
The safety and health of visitors and employees have the highest priority, according to Klokow. “I know that we demand a lot from our audience and I also wish that this virus didn’t exist and that we could play normally.”
