Reading all seven of JK Rowling's Harry Potter books in 70 minutes? Not even Dumbledore himself could conjure up that kind of magic. Seeing the entire saga play out on stage in the same amount of time, with room for a quidditch match too? Well, thanks to Potted Potter: The Unauthorised Harry Experience, that's another matter entirely.

If you don't have the time to reread your favourite novels, are looking for a quick refresher before the next Fantastic Beasts film hits cinemas or would just like a brief wander through the entire story for the fun of it, then this comedic production has you covered. As created by double Olivier Award Best Entertainment nominees Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, you'll watch two performers relive the wonder of the boy who lived and recreate the terror of he who must not be named — and whiz through it faster than you can say "accio books!" (or almost that fast).

And, if you somehow still have no idea what all the Harry Potter fuss is about, consider this the ultimate primer. Of course, Potted Potter: The Unauthorised Harry Experience is a parody, so it comes with plenty of laughs when it plays QPAC's Playhouse from Tuesday, August 3 to Sunday, August 8.
