Harry Potter fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the next chapter in the wizarding story this morning.

Crowds are expected at bookstores around the world to get their hands on the new book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child as the clock strikes 11.01am.

The worldwide release will coincide with the end of the West End play at midnight in London.

The release is slightly different from the rest of the infamous series, written by J K Rowling, as it's written as a play script instead of a novel.

Whitcoulls' Head of Books Joan Mackenzie said the book is a must-have for fans because it explains the next stage of Harry's life.

She's expecting a very big reception from Harry Potter lovers.

"There's been increasing interest over the last month since it was first announced, but I have to say over the last two or three days it's really started to go mad."

Potter fans will have more to look forward to at the end of the year with the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a movie written by J. K. Rowling herself and starring Eddie Redmayne.
