            [No Spoilers] Honest Review of Harry Potter & The Curse Child

            In an era dominated by AI and CGI, it was awe-inspiring to witness live craftsmanship during Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Dr Phillips Center in downtown Orlando. The way the lighting, stage, and choreography seamlessly wove together felt like magic itself. Even set changes were mesmerizing, as if part of the performance. The energy and the audience’s collective wonder made it an unforgettable experience.

            What made the night even more fun was leaning into the overall experience. We approached the night with attire that gave subtle nods to the wizarding world, while others came dressed as wizards, making the whole evening feel shared and playful. It’s one of those rare date nights where the anticipation starts before the curtain rises and the energy stays with you long after the final bow. Every moment on stage was sharp, funny, and impossible not to enjoy, however if I had to hand out a personal award for the night, Moaning Myrtle absolutely stole the show.

            On the drive home, we kept circling back to magic scenes we still couldn’t quite explain, trying to piece together how these moments were even possible on stage. That lingering sense of wonder might be the best compliment you can give any live performance.

            Judging by reactions across social media, we weren’t alone either. Christina Petsos, known as @somehowimeverywhere on social media, put it, “You’ll laugh, cry and cheer throughout the story. You’ll be wowed by the magic they bring to life on stage.”

            @olivia.r.shannon said, “I was absolutely blown away,” while @sarahsonelittlespark described it as, “The magic was perfection. The story was great. A glimpse into ‘what if.’”

            The Cursed Child is set to run in Orlando through February 15, 2026 at the Walt Disney Theater.
