Harry Potter has travelled from page to screen and now to stage.

J.K. Rowling said on Friday she is working on a play about the boy wizard’s life before he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Rowling’s seven-book saga begins when Harry, an unloved orphan grudgingly raised by his aunt and uncle, receives a letter informing him he is a wizard.

Rowling said in a statement that the play will “explore the previously untold story of Harry’s early years as an orphan and outcast.”

Rowling will be a co-producer and collaborate with a writer.
