Friday Forty is the official London lottery for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and it is built around the two-part nature of the show.

What makes Friday Forty different

Most lotteries are for one performance. Friday Forty is associated with the full Harry Potter and the Cursed Child experience, so read the official instructions carefully.

The price is often described as £40 for the two-part opportunity, which makes it a high-value lottery if you are flexible enough to attend the assigned performances.

Who it suits

  • Fans who want the full two-part play rather than a single evening out.
  • People with enough flexibility to attend assigned dates.
  • Visitors who are comfortable using the official app flow.

Planning tip

Because this is a longer theatre commitment than a standard single show, check calendars around both parts. Winning is only useful if you can actually attend the performances.
