Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two: The Official Playscript of the Original West End Production

Admittedly, some of my chief complaints about Cursed Child are rooted in the fact that it is a script book and not a novel. This alone, is not why a star was knocked off my rating. Alone, it would knock off such a small fraction of a star, I wouldn't acknowledge it, but it wasn't the only thing that disappointed me. The fact remains that there was a real inability to get to know the characters due to the play format and this was hard for me to really ignore. What caused me to drop a star from this rating, even though revisiting certain characters, seeing character interactions, and themes presented in this story resonating with me so well, was the primary plot. Sure, it was a thrilling plot device with many threads woven together quite well as I would expect of JKR, but that same plot device was over the top. I'm certain JKR could've come up with a different plot device that wouldn't have pushed so many of JKR's own worldbuilding rules.Still, everything fit together quite well and there were so many moments that were exactly what I had missed from JKR's Harry Potter writing and it was so so amazing for the opportunity to be able to return to the Wizarding World. I loved this play and would LOVE to see it and it will hold just as much of a place in my heart as the rest of the series.

Disfruté leer este libro, la historia es entretenida y me gustó conocer personajes nuevos.

This is one of those books/ stories where the plot itself is very good, but because I'm such a Harry Potter fan and I'd rather have original work as well as other works by JK Rowling. It's really weird reading this doll of writing. Number one. Overall it's a play or a screenplay style reading so it's not like we're actually getting a full story with extra details and stuff like that. We're literally getting a screenplay like the actors would be getting so it's definitely on that. No on that. If you're looking at it that way then it's definitely different. But overall I think the plot itself is very good. The style of writing is just not something I'm used to when it comes down to Harry Potter and all that. But it's also very interesting to see how other people will view or look at the Harry Potter cast and characters how they would interpret how they would be as an adult because in my own head. I've read this book now, three different times and for me reading this story there's a lot of things that like I just couldn't see an older generation of characters saying or doing. Also side note I would have loved to sing or hear from Neville. I would have loved to get an update for Draco Malfoy it's like old friends I see like what they were up to. I would have. There's just a lot that I wish they would have touched on in the morning. I read this the more times I read this over and over them more. Think about that.
