This was great!
It does in no way live up to the standard that is Harry Potter, but I really enjoyed it!
The format does change the detail of which the story can be told, and I think in particularly that this would have been better as a novel rather than a play.
I love the new characters, though, and Scorpius is an absolute treasure.
At times I did find the characters I knew well to be a bit out of character, but with a different author it's to be expected I guess. I like to think that the script J.K. Rowling originally wrote is not the end result we're reading Spoiler [In particular, the fact that Voldemort had a child, which I find in no way plausible, like, at all. It would have made more sense if Delphi had just been raised by Death Eaters and wanted Voldemort in charge. And that Harry's pain in his scar returning would be something like phantom pains because he was feeling deja vu of his youth when voldy was alive.]Â
This story is quite a whirlwind, and would have been explained better in a novel, I mean things that would have been difficult and a real hard task were just glossed over.Â
Overall, I really did enjoy it though, even if it isn't like the rest of the series. In a sense, I don't think it should have been branded as the eighth Harry Potter book, but instead as a spin-off, or something.Â
Lastly, I just need to say this: we need a ship name for Albus and Scorpius.
HOLY SHIT. I MEAN, HOLY FUCKING SHIT.Â
I can't even begin to describe my feelings for this book. This SERIES.Â
~speechless~
This series deserves all of the love it gets. It deserves all of the hype. It deserves everything.Â
This book deserves all of the things, too. Because god-damn. And that epilogue as well.Â
I am honestly so incredibly pumped for The Cursed Child because the five page preview I got of these kids was fantastic, and I don't think I will care about format or authors or whatever, because I just want more.Â
Holy. Shit.
Harry Potter is life, man.
Oh
My god.
Every single chapter that started with Six Years Earlier made me want to crawl into a corner and weep. Just weep for hours and hours and hours.
Deeply, deeply, deeply emtional, I was so surprised, I literally picked this book up 8 hours ago. It's 1am, I just finished and I have school tomorrow. So, yep.
It's so addicting.
Amazing.
Tragic.
Wonderful.
All the feels.
