‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ star James Snyder fired from Broadway show amid misconduct claim

The producers of the stage show said they launched an independent, third-party investigation after they received a complaint about James Snyder on Nov. 19, 2021.

The misconduct complaint was filed by Diane Davis, who plays Ginny Potter, the wife of Snyder’s character, Harry Potter. She will be taking a leave of absence for an unknown period of time. Snyder was suspended pending the investigation’s completion, but his contract has now been terminated after the inquiry was concluded.

"Ms. Davis has made the personal decision to take a leave of absence," the show’s producers said in a statement. "Out of respect for her privacy – and to maintain the integrity of the investigation – we will make no further comment regarding the matter."
