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 received its world premiere in London’s West End on 30th July 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.

"I will act like I have never read this book :) It had SO MUCH potential… oh well."

"Bad and poopoo"

"I liked the general Idea, but I will say the way that they use the time turner and time travel is totally different from Prisoner of Azkaban, because in this book when you go back in time you can actually change things instead of it being a time loop like in Prisoner of Azkaban"

"Not worth reading "

"Not as good as I thought and honestly wasn’t really worth it tbh 😐"

"While the story builds on the characters and setting of the HP series, this plot felt a little too far-fetched to be an extension of the original canon. Some of that may have to do with it not reading the same, in that this isn’t a fully detailed novel. But the plot twists felt a little forced and even the original characters seemed to lack some of the essential parts of themselves."

"Saw the play now too - a must see! But don't reread this beforehand. Some of the magical twists were a pleasant surprise! "

"I have absolutely nothing nice to say about this book. It was horrible, a waste of time, and will make most potterheads red in the face."

"ill be honest, i have never finished this book. but as a harry potter fan, this was a pretty interesting concept. if you can tolerate reading a whole screenplay, i do genuinely recommend this"
