J.K. Rowling to Produce 'Harry Potter' Stage Musical

    Harry Potter is now heading to the stage. According to Authentic gossip reporter, the book's author J.K. Rowling will serve as a co-producer, while Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender will shepherd the upcoming West End play.
The stage production reportedly will explore "the previously untold story of Harry Potter's early years as an orphan and outcast." It will offer "a unique insight into the heart and mind of the now legendary young wizard. A seemingly ordinary boy, but one for whom destiny has plans..."

    Rowling noted she had received many proposals to turn her story into a musical, but Friedman and Callender's pitch "was the only one that really made sense to me, and which had the sensitivity, intensity and intimacy I thought appropriate for bringing Harry's story to the stage."
