TEHRAN -- Iranian Pottermaniacs are scheduled to come together at Tandis Bookstore in Tehran today and tomorrow to celebrate the release of the Persian version of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, the eighth installment in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.

Translator Vida Eslamieh, who has rendered the previous episodes of the series, will also attend the celebration to autograph copies of the book for the fans, Tandis Publications announced on Wednesday.

Rowling penned this book in two parts featuring the life of Harry Potter nineteen years later in the post-Voldemort wizarding world.

Playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany premiere a play based on the story in London’s West End theater district on July 30, Reuters reported.

During a standing ovation at the end of the show, Rowling who appeared on stage said that the story is the end of the journey for the beloved boy wizard.

“(It) chimed perfectly with the material I had about the next generation and I could see it would work perfectly,” she said. “So, I never wanted to write another novel, but this will give the fans something special.”
