Harry Potter meets Marty McFly. I love Harry Potter, really love Harry Potter, but not grown up. He's changed. I went into this reading with my eyes wide open. I knew JK Rowling didn't write it, I knew it was a screenplay and I knew it focused on the next generation. Even so, JK Rowling approved i...

How nice it was to reunite with Harry again. One of the most spectacular things about the prior novels was Harry's voice, which stayed with me after I finished. So reading this new story as a play took some adjustment. I did enjoy it, but a script only tells half a story. I couldn't see inside any...

During the first quarter of the book, I must say I felt dissapointed and didn't really like the book. I hated Albus, I didn't understand where this Delphie woman came from, and I could not understand why Albus wanted to do what he did. It all felt weird and I could not understand how Harry and Ginny...

I really hate to give anything about Harry Potter less than five stars but I have to this time. It was probably more the fact that I was reading a play versus a novel that just didn't do it for me. I just didn't get that sense of being lost in another world. When I read the other Harry Potter books,...

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a play about fathers and their children. It is about trying to live up to expectations and resenting those expectations. It is mostly about the burden of family history. The play format is actually a good fit for Rowling because her fiction is almost entirely d...

I love the Harry Potter universe. I grew up with them, and they will always be a part of me and how I see the world. To me, the story ended after book seven, before the epilogue. This was not a Harry Potter book, nor a Harry Potter play. This was a play that took place in a version of the Pottervers...

Done in play form, it is a quick read but there is a lot that goes on during the read. I liked Albus and Scorpius. I also liked that they did not give into their families' pasts and continue the fighting between the Potters and Malfoys. I liked that the characters from the earlier books were brought...

Hmmmm...I am left a little frazzled after this book. On the one hard there are some absolutely breathtaking scenes that left me in an emotional state of tears and on the other hand this really felt so disjointed and off from the beloved series that we have read over and over again. So how to rate?...

I don't know if it was the hype attached to this play, there was no way it could have possibly lived up to all those expectations, or the fact that it read like bad fanfiction, but this is without a doubt the worse HP story I have ever read. From the very beginning, when Scorpius tells Albus about t...
