Description:The Eighth Story. Nineteen Years Later.
Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in London’s West End on July 30, 2016.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
Alright let me start out by I know all of the mixed reviews that surround this book. And I'm just going to say you really need to go into this book with an open mind. Some people are so angry that Jo didn't write this book. But I knew that going in so I didn't have a problem.
With in the first page and a half of this book, I was sobbing. The fangirl was real with this one. There were lines being used from the original series and movies and I was in heaven. When we see Harry and the others its in the moments after we ended the Deathly Hallows. It fit in perfectly. We follow Harry's son Albus and Draco's son Scorpius. And they're a pair alright. Albus reminds me greatly of Draco and Scorpius of Harry. It was comical to see this. When a time turner comes back into the world and talks of saving Cederic come up a whole mess of excitement happens. I'm just going to point out that I knew there still have to be time turners out there!
"Bad things happen to wizards who mess with time Harry." Who knew how important this line would be because my word do bad things happen when you mess with time.
A world with mean Hermionie and fat Ron. A world where they're fugitives. And my favorite a world where Harry died and we hear "For Voldemort and Valor."
The world gets turned upside down and we find out that the rumors about Voldemort having a child are true! *Shock* right I know crazy!
The book is written in play style because it is just that. A play! And I didn't find it hard to read at all. I was unable to put it down and I read it so fast that I'm sad I finished because its over again. (Though we are getting some new book from Pottermore YAY!)
This in my opinion is the 8th book, it was the perfect way to make the story just a bit more. We got Harry again no reason to complain at all.
I plan to read this one again very soon. I'm currently on Chamber of Secrets on my reread so I will be to Cursed Child again soon.
I highly recommend this book if you're a fan of Harry Potter. Don't judge it on the bad review by people who didn't pay attention to all the news about the book.
