Once again, Potterheads all over the world are in a frenzy as more details about spin-off films and play versions are surfacing.

"Harry Potter" series author J.K. Rowling announced through Twitter that the highly-anticipated play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" will be staged in two parts - either in matinee and evening schedule or in two consecutive nights.

She tweeted, "Due to the epic nature of the story we've been working on, Harry Potter & the #Cursed Child will be in two parts!"

J.K. Rowling confirmed in June that a new "Harry Potter" installment is coming. This time, in the form of a play entitled "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child."

The play is scheduled for release in the summer of 2016 at London's West End. Although the official cast for the play is not yet confirmed, lots of websites, including What's on Stage, have come up with a dream cast.

The story is the result of collaboration between writer Jack Thorne, Tony Award-winning director John Tiffany and Rowling herself.

The only established plot hint given by Rowling was that the story is not a prequel.

In an interview with Pottermore, an interactive website that focuses on the unexplored facts, news and trivia in the Wizarding World, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany explained why the play is split in two parts.

"Obviously I loved it when we decided to tell this story in two parts because I got to spend time more time with the characters and what an honour that has been," Thorne said.

He added, "As a fan, who just devoured the books and the films, this couldn't be more exciting for me."

Meanwhile, John Tiffany expressed his awe in the uniqueness of the upcoming production saying, "I've never worked on anything quite like this before."

John also mentioned that while it is a unique opportunity to explore the beloved character in the Wizarding World, it is a story that no one knows yet.

"It shares a scale and ambition with all the Harry Potter stories so in order to do this justice we have decided to present the play in two parts," he said.

It is notable that the adaptation of the final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", had also been split into two full-length movies.

"Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book," producer David Heyman told Los Angeles Times to explain the decision.

Rowling also explained why the new story is told in the form of a play instead of a book or a movie: "I am confident that when audiences see the play they will agree that it was the only proper medium for the story."

Before, Rowling had refused many offers to expand the "Harry Potter" franchise, with the exception of spin-off books that were written to benefit charities.

A spin-off film entitled "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is soon coming to theaters starring the Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne.
