Set your wands to ‘Potted Potter’

Muggles beware! “Potted Potter” and the Wizards Clarkson and Turner are swooping into the Little Shubert Theatre, now through Sept. 1.

“Potted Potter” takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing, or “potting,” all seven Harry Potter books into 70 madcap minutes, featuring multiple costume changes, brilliant songs, zany props, and a generous helping of Hogwarts’ magic.

Audiences can also duke it out in a real game of Quidditch.

This is the ultimate show for Potter fans who camped outside a bookstore for three days awaiting the release of the last book, or know the difference between a horcrux and a hufflepuff — or a muggle from a wizard. Everyone from age 6 to Dumbledor’s age — really old! — will be spellbound.

“Potted Potter,” now through Sept. 1. Showtimes are Mondays at 7:30 pm, Tuesdays at 7:30 pm, Thursdays at 2 pm and 7:30 pm, Fridays at 8 pm, Saturdays at 2 pm, 5 pm, and 8 pm, and Sundays at 2 pm and 5 pm. Tickets start at $39.99.

Little Shubert Theatre [422 W. 42nd St. between Ninth and 10th avenues, (212) 239–2656, www.pottedpotter.com/nyc].
