An award-winning theatre parody that attempts to cram all seven Harry Potter books into 70 minutes of stage time will return to the UAE.
Potted Potter – The Unauthorised Harry Experience has proved an international smash and critical success, earning a prized Olivier nomination.
Now, following from a well-received run in 2014, the show will return to Ductac, at Mall of the Emirates in Dubai, for a three-night run, from September 15 to 17.
Potted Potter is a work from BBC children's presenters Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, who first developed the idea in 2005 as a five-minute street sketch to entertain shoppers queuing to buy first copies of the sixth book in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
The idea was later developed into a full-length show, which has shown at London’s West End and enjoyed 30 weeks off-Broadway.

Business Insights
- Canada and Mexico are significant energy suppliers to the US, providing the majority of oil and natural gas imports
- The introduction of tariffs could hinder the US's clean energy initiatives by raising input costs for materials like nickel
- US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs
