Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Actor Fired Over Misconduct Allegations
The producers hired investigators to examine the allegations following Davis' report last November. While the specifics of the claim remain unknown, the findings were enough to result in Snyder's dismissal.
The producers also released a statement confirming Snyder's dismissal:
In the same statement, the play's support staff has reassured the crew of their aims in making Cursed Child a safe workspace:
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child continues the story of the wizarding world as a stage play, nearly two decades after the events of the Deathly Hallows, and follows Harry's family and the next generation of Hogwarts students. First opening in London in 2016, the event eventually made its way to Broadway in 2018.
A replacement for Snyder has not been announced at this time.
