Back in June, Rowling announced a two-part play, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" and we haven't heard much about the project until now.

The Snitch also hold significance for Harry Potter, since it was a Snitch that contained the all-important resurrection stone that helps make Potter the Master of Death as the conclusion of the series.
