LONDON -- After months of waiting, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is finally within our grasp.

But its arrival is bittersweet. Over the weekend J.K. Rowling as good as confirmed we won't be getting any more Harry Potter stories, so -- failing a future change of heart -- this is the last of Harry and the gang we'll be seeing.

Although the play's script has only been out since midnight on Sunday, plenty of people have already finished reading it.

And at the very end of the world's most magical saga, emotions are running high.

As painful as it is, though, maybe it's better to go out on a high note.

We'll always have the books to re-read, and their magic isn't going to disappear any time soon.
