Emma Watson attended a preview of the upcoming Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play at the Palace Theatre in London, where she met Noma Dumezweni, who portrays the adult version of Hermione. Emma posted on Facebook, “Yesterday I went to see the Cursed Child. I came in with no idea what to expect and it was amazing. Some things about the play were, I think, possibly even more beautiful than the films. Having seen it I felt more connected to Hermione and the stories than I have since Deathly Hallows came out, which was such a gift. Meeting Noma and seeing her on stage was like meeting my older self and have her tell me everything was going to be alright, which as you can imagine was immensely comforting (and emotional),” she posted.
On Noma: “Noma was everything I could ever hope she would be. She’s wonderful. The music is beautiful, I could go on...,” she said. Noma was excited to meet Emma too, “Now I feel I can share the maHUSSIVE Joy I felt, alongside the company when a beautiful, humble and very kind young lady. @EmWatson It really was quite emotional to be in your company. And Thank you for your lovely self. We spoke of you with MAJOR respect,” she Tweeted. The play is being directed by John Tiffany, and is a narrative set 19 years after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, reports etonline.com.
