Hi, I'm Naz. Your final Newsround for Sunday.

:00:00.:00:00.

Stay tuned, cos we've got plenty coming up.

:00:00.:00:08.

Harry Potter mania as fans queue to watch The Cursed Child.

:00:09.:00:13.

And freefalling - the daredevil jumping without a parachute!

:00:14.:00:29.

First up and it's back to Hogwarts for Harry Potter fans.

:00:30.:00:32.

It's been nine years since the last book was released but now there's

:00:33.:00:36.

a new story of witches and wizards from JK Rowling.

:00:37.:00:39.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child officially opened to the public

:00:40.:00:42.

in London last night and BBC's entertainment reporter Lizo

:00:43.:00:46.

This weekend is the proper opening of Harry Potter

:00:47.:00:52.

For the past couple of months, it has been previewing.

:00:53.:00:56.

People have been seeing it while they tinker with the script

:00:57.:00:59.

and make sure they get it how they want it.

:01:00.:01:01.

Today is the official opening attended by the creator

:01:02.:01:04.

I had an idea that I would do something like this one day.

:01:05.:01:11.

I knew the novel is well done, in terms of Harry's story.

:01:12.:01:21.

I knew there was other material and I gave it to these guys

:01:22.:01:24.

One of the themes is about famous parents

:01:25.:01:28.

and their children and the resonance through the generations.

:01:29.:01:30.

So very much relevant to your family?

:01:31.:01:31.

The story picks up on what happens to Ron and Hermione and Harry

:01:32.:01:37.

The reviews have been fantastic and it's early days yet,

:01:38.:01:50.

than it will be going back to Hogwarts. It's not a musical, it's

:01:51.:01:59.

not a Shakespeare, it's just completely different and it's

:02:00.:02:04.

brilliant. Just see the show, it's brilliant. Amazing,.

:02:05.:02:10.

it looks like this could be a theatrical production that

:02:11.:02:12.

And if you want to find out more about the Olympics,

:02:13.:02:28.

Next, to the early relations of humans called Neanderthals

:02:29.:02:30.

and the places that give us big clues to what they were like.

:02:31.:02:33.

These caves in Gibraltar, a small British terrritory

:02:34.:02:35.

at the bottom of Spain, have now got special

:02:36.:02:37.

recognition for all the info they give scientists.

:02:38.:02:39.

They reveal how modern humans share a little more

:02:40.:02:41.

You have a line of caves, probably the highest concentration

:02:42.:02:46.

of Neanderthals anywhere that we know.

:02:47.:02:47.

The caves would have been an ideal habitat for their lifestyle.

:02:48.:02:50.

These people were humans, they may have been different

:02:51.:02:52.

with a different culture and a different way of thinking,

:02:53.:02:54.

some things we will never know, but they were human.

:02:55.:02:59.

We are less than a week away from the start

:03:00.:03:02.

The event will see more than 10,000 athletes and around 200 nations come

:03:03.:03:08.

together to compete in 28 sports including athletics,

:03:09.:03:11.

It only happens every four years and Team GB will be hoping

:03:12.:03:17.

The BBC's Olympic reporter Nick Hope will be there and sent

:03:18.:03:21.

Yes, just days away from the Rio Olympics -

:03:22.:03:30.

an event so big it's called "the greatest show on Earth"!

:03:31.:03:33.

Many of the athletes have already travelled to Brazil

:03:34.:03:35.

to begin their final preparations, so here are my top five

:03:36.:03:37.

Teenage Amber Hill started shooting when she was just ten.

:03:38.:03:46.

She has her own special pink cartridges and hopes those

:03:47.:03:49.

will help her become the first British woman to win an Olympic

:03:50.:03:52.

Adam Peaty is a swimming sensation - he's won Commonwealth,

:03:53.:03:57.

European and World gold medals over the last two years and is looking

:03:58.:04:01.

to complete his set with an Olympic title.

:04:02.:04:06.

Britain has some of the best taekwondo fighters on the planet

:04:07.:04:09.

She won World gold in 2015 - and wants more success in Rio.

:04:10.:04:17.

Now Ellie Downie only stepped up to senior gymnastics

:04:18.:04:20.

competitions last year, but has already won several major

:04:21.:04:23.

titles and will be bidding for both individual and team medals.

:04:24.:04:29.

Finally, Katarina Johnson-Thompson - the heptathlete competes

:04:30.:04:32.

in an incredible seven events and is amongst the favourites

:04:33.:04:35.

She will be up against her team-mate and defending champion,

:04:36.:04:41.

So all five athletes will be hoping to win big for Team GB and you'll be

:04:42.:04:47.

able to catch all the best of the action on the Newsround

:04:48.:04:50.

This one might leave you feeling a little dizzy.

:04:51.:04:58.

A daredevil skydiver has become the first person ever to jump

:04:59.:05:00.

from 7,500 metres in the air without using a parachute.

:05:01.:05:04.

Luke Aikins' free fall in California in the USA took two minutes.

:05:05.:05:09.

Then he flipped onto his back and landed into a net.

:05:10.:05:12.

Luke was thrilled by his achievement.

:05:13.:05:17.

This thing that just happen, the words I want to say I can't

:05:18.:05:21.

All these guys, everybody who made this happen.

:05:22.:05:26.

And finally to this big cat - called a lynx.

:05:27.:05:31.

It escaped from Dartmoor Zoo in Devon three weeks ago -

:05:32.:05:33.

Police had warned Flaviu, whp looks similar to this one,

:05:34.:05:37.

He was caught after he wandered into a trap looking for food.

:05:38.:05:43.

The zoo says he's safe and well - but a little grumpy!

:05:44.:05:50.

That's all from me, Newsround's back at at 7:40 tomorrow morning.

:05:51.:05:56.
