Chris Colfer Steps Out For 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' Broadway Opening Night

Chris Colfer suits up for opening night of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child held at the Lyric Theatre in New York City on Sunday night (April 22).

Not many remember that it was Harry Potter that inspired him to write his “Land of Stories” novel series!

While speaking with CBC last year, Chris revealed that not only was he inspired by the books, but also stood in line for each of them as a kid.

“A lot of authors who are in this position where they’re able to talk about works that inspire them, they whip out like Tolstoy and maybe some more impressive titles, but it ["Harry Potter"] was [mine],” he shared.

Chris added, “It captured my attention in a way that had never been captured when I was a kid and the reason I learned how to read.”
