Sadly this means bidding farewell to Year Two’s cast, who have been posting their memories and thanks on social media:

An open letter of thanks to all the lovely people who consider themselves fans of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and to all the truly wonderful audience members who’ve seen the show over the past year whilst I’ve had the privilege to play Albus Severus Potter pic.twitter.com/T7xrSJRDNy
