'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' Drops Real Owls From the Play
There has been a casting change for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, but it's not what you think! The producers of the London stage play have removed live owls after one escaped into the audience during a preview earlier this week.
The producers said in a statement,
"The production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is currently in its preview stage, with the process designed to allow the creative team time to rehearse changes or explore specific scenes further before the play's official opening. The owls that were associated with the production were expertly cared for by a team of certified trainers and an on-site specialist veterinary surgeon (Steve Smith, Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons) who ensured the owls' welfare and enrichment needs were safeguarded at all times. This was of utmost importance to the production.
