HP 'magic' - spoilers huge

Yes, although if I remember correctly, the invisibility cloak is not one of the major tricks. I think they just duck behind things and put it on, and they make some furniture move by itself to make it seem like there's an invisible person. Not one of the more impressive ones. Someone who has seen it more recently may go into better detail.

I'd be happy to describe any of the other tricks if you truly do want the spoilers.

The one that stumped me though:

Did anyone catch how they make the scattered papers on Harry's desk form into a pile? It was one of those blink-and-you-miss-it moments, and unfortunately I blinked. I couldn't tell if the whole thing was a projection, or if they were all attached by a string that tightened and brought them together, or what.

Thats funny. I found the telephone booth to be the most obvious. That, the dementors and the fight with Malfoy were the few moments where I found fault in the otherwise brilliant production.

I understand how it's done, but it moved so fast it looked amazing; especially with several people in it.

That's why I hated the video mapping of time going back and forth. It seemed out of place within the awesome theatrical stage craft.

You got most if not all of the ones I remember.

My favorite one is their depiction of time travel. I saw the play twice in London on separate trips and was always fascinated how the bars/stage looked like it was slightly moving back and forth during the time travel. Never knew how they did that!
