Harry Potter i ukleto dijete prvi i drugi dio - John Tiffany, Jack Thorne, J.K. Rowling



Harryju Potteru nikad nije bilo lako pa nije ni danas dok nastoji pronaći ravnotežu između uloga prezaposlenog djelatnika Ministarstva magije, supruga i oca troje djece školske dobi.

I dok je Harry prisiljen uhvatiti se ukoštac s prošlošću koja odbija ostati gdje joj je i mjesto, njegov najmlađi sin Albus mora se boriti s teretom obiteljskog nasljeđa koje nikad nije želio. U zlokobnom stapanju prošlosti i sadašnjosti, otac i sin otkrit će neugodnu istinu: tamu ponekad pronalazimo na sasvim neočekivanim mjestima.

Prema novom, izvornom predlošku koji potpisuju J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany i Jack Thorne nastao je dramski tekst Harry Potter i ukleto dijete autora Jacka Thornea. Osma priča o Harryju Potteru ujedno je i prva priča namijenjena izvođenju na kazališnoj pozornici. Ova posebna verzija teksta koja se koristila na glumačkim probama upoznala je čitatelje širom svijeta s nastavkom putovanja Harryja Pottera i njegovih prijatelja i obitelji odmah nakon svjetske praizvedbe drame na londonskom West Endu 30. srpnja 2016. godine.

Scensku izvedbu Harryja Pottera i ukletog djeteta producirali su Sonia Friedman Productions, Colin Callender i Harry Potter Theatrical Productions.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2 - John Tiffany (Adaptation), Jack Thorne (Adaptation), J.K. Rowling

The Eighth Story. Nineteen Years Later.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in London’s West End on July 30, 2016.

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

Rebel of the sands (Rebel of the Sands #1) – Alwyn Hamilton



She’s more gunpowder than girl—and the fate of the desert lies in her hands.

Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mystical beasts still roam the wild and barren wastes, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinni still practice their magic. But there's nothing mystical or magical about Dustwalk, the dead-end town that Amani can't wait to escape from.

Destined to wind up "wed or dead," Amani’s counting on her sharpshooting skills to get her out of Dustwalk. When she meets Jin, a mysterious and devastatingly handsome foreigner, in a shooting contest, she figures he’s the perfect escape route. But in all her years spent dreaming of leaving home, she never imagined she'd gallop away on a mythical horse, fleeing the murderous Sultan's army, with a fugitive who's wanted for treason. And she'd never have predicted she'd fall in love with him... or that he'd help her unlock the powerful truth of who she really is.

The Unwanted (Black Water Tales #2) – Jean Nicole Rivers



In the remote, eastern European town of Borslav there is St. Sebastian orphanage, a place where people discard their unwanted children. For the American, Blaire Baker, it’s the perfect place to volunteer her services. Paired with a cheerful volunteer nurse, Blaire is enthusiastic about the possibilities, but is quickly discouraged when she encounters the nefarious nature of the staff and the deplorable conditions of the facility and the children.

Upon arrival, one of the children informs Blaire, “There’s something in the basement.” It isn’t long before strange things begin happening, including Blaire’s flashbacks of the accident that killed her parents. The children soon suffer injuries that Blaire, first, fears may be the deeds of the callous workers but she soon thinks the abuse may originate from a source that is less than human, something unwanted.

The unwanted is coming but in order for Blaire to fight it, she must dig into St. Sebastian and herself in search of truth. Blaire wants nothing more than to help the children, but when discovers the tragedy that happened in the basement and learns that the same evil forces are still at work, it will be Blaire who needs help…There’s something in the basement.

Tisuću noći – E. K. Johnston


Lo-Melkhiin je ubio već tristo djevojaka prije nego je došao u njeno selo, tražeći novu suprugu. Kad primijeti oblak prašine u pustinji, znat će da je stigao. Zna da će uzeti najljepšu djevojku u selu-njenu sestru, no ona mu to neće dopustiti.

Odlučila je da će zauzeti sestrino mjesto pa dolazi u Lo-Melkhiinov ksar, opasno i čarobno mjesto u kojem kipovi imaju nesretne oči, a tkalci izrađuju najfinije svile. Pada noć i ona vjeruje da će smrt nastupiti uskoro. No, prvo sunce izlazi, a ona je još živa. Lo-Melkhiin dolazi u njezine odaje iz noći u noć i sluša priče iz njezina života, i svako jutro ona se budi iznenađena što je još uvijek na životu.

Polako otkrivajući dvor i sve što je okružuje, ona saznaje da Lo-Melkhiin nije oduvijek bio ovakav, nekada je bio pravedan i dobar vladar. Nešto je moralo poći po zlu. I dok joj se ukazuju snažne vizije njene sestre i života koji je ostavila za sobom, shvaća da njezina moć nad Lo-Melkhiinom raste i počinje stvarati veće i snažne čarolije, dovoljno jake da spasi vladara, ako može zaustaviti vladavinu čudovišta.
