Let's start with positive - I liked Scorpius and Draco Malfoy really surprised me pleasantly. That's it. Now, let the rant begin. If I could separate it from Harry Potter books, it might be a rather good play but because it needs knowledge about Harry Potter characters I can't do this and it turn...

Better than I thought it would be.In my mind I definitely wasn't giving this one a fair chance. I don't like reading in playwright format, but I flew through this one. It's not even J.K. Rowling... but that didn't matter either. These two guys that wrote this one did her stories justice.Was I blown ...

Albus Severus Potter is sorted into Slytherin, and his only friend turns out to be Scorpius Malfoy, whose paternity is rumored to be Voldemort himself. Add to that the estrangement between Harry and his son, another uprising of dark powers, the emergence of a Time-Turner, Amos Diggory turning up at ...
My Journey to Become Pretentiously Literate
It's a fun read, but it pales in comparison to Rowling's own work. One might say that the "magic" of the original series is missing....I'll show myself out.

I will keep this brief. There was little I liked about this book. The little there was were the three young characters Albus, Scorpius, and Rose. I loved that they were not cast as repeats of their parents and that their background did not determine their character or actions, which, I guess, it ...

I knew the general consensus about this book was that it was a disappointment, which put me off reading it for awhile. So I was a little surprised as I began it, because I was really enjoying it and didn't understand why there was a fuss. Then Act 1, Scene 10 happened. Now I get it, because from...

Placing J.K. Rowling's name big and center is very misleading considering how the story wasn't her idea. She was simply a contributor of facts concerning the wizarding world and its complex characters, which was unfortunately wasted on a watered down story of something that was perfect on its own. I...

Just like any other Harry Potter fan, I read this book in a day. Loved the story, loved how it's all twisted with the previous parts and even though it doesn't contain all the mysteries and spells and magical moments, it has a lot to offer, like a deeply explained love between a father and a son, or...

I put off reading this book, because I heard a lot of mixed reviews. Mostly it seemed that people didn't like it when they expected it to be a continuation of the Harry Potter series. Therefore, going into this book, I tried not to think of it as a "Harry Potter book" per se, but rather something se...

I have been putting off trying to rate this book/play because I have just so many mixed emotions. I am just not sure how to rate it. I first cracked it open the night of the release party at midnight. (Yes, I went to the midnight release party and no, it was not my first HP midnight release party.) ...
