Review: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two by John Tiffany
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I liked this book as much upon the second reading as the first. Looking forward to seeing the play.

A welcome return to the world of Harry Potter! Harry, Ron and Hermione are now adults with children at Hogwarts. Harry's middle child, Albus and Draco's son Scorpius strike up a friendship on the Hogwart's Express. Both boys feel they don't fit and and have found it difficult to live in the shadow of their famous/infamous fathers. They come up with a solution, but it the process of carrying out their plan has unexpected consequences...

I liked the story very much. I loved going back to Harry's world. I found most of the characters very true to the characters in the books, with the exception of Ron. He seemed a bit too buffoonish to me. It's also important to remember that this is a play and lacks the full depth and richness of the books. I am looking forward to the day that I can see the play.
