Meanwhile, JK Rowling urged everyone who came to watch to keep their after-play online experience spoiler-free with the hashtag #KeepTheSecrets.

#CursedChild staying on message as we left. So no spoilers, but that was SO well staged, well acted, genuinely really good when I worried it wouldn’t be.

So, reaction to first preview was… wonderful. Feedback is fans really do want to #KeepTheSecrets for each other’s sake. #DontBeWormtail

And fans kept their secrets secret. All is right with the world.

All I will say is that was potentially the best thing I have ever seen… @HPPlayLDN #CursedChild #KeepTheSecrets pic.twitter.com/dbh37nKo2n
