Harry Potter an the Cursed Child Part One and Two: Official Rehearsal Playscript by JK Rowling4/19/2017 Why is not a movie?! It seems almost sacrilegious that the greatest Harry Potter story ever told is restricted to a small stage. And I mean those words, this is the greatest story of Harry Potter that Rowling has popped out of her ingenious head to date! We definitely get a look at Harry's more "human" side in this tale, told almost twenty years after the main series ends. He's grown, so have Ginny, Ron, Hermoine, and dare I say it, even Draco Malfoy, into brilliant adults. Not only does the reader get a better feel of Harry, but like The Half-Blood Prince did for Snape, The Cursed Child does for Draco Malfoy. We started to see the truth behind the facade Draco exuded in The Deathly Hollows, but it all is made so much clearer in The Cursed Child. Draco's past was just as jaded as Harry's, if not even more so just because Draco's father was alive. It's a bit a weird, almost smile-worthy thing seeing Potters and Malfoys being friends and helping each other, one that will without a doubt warm the heart of ever Potter fan in the world. The Cursed Child takes us on a roller coaster through time, allowing us to revisit some of Harry's most heart-wrenching moments and see them in a new light. It is definitely worth the read. I did spot a number of grammatical errors (gods forbid I should be able to read anything without editing it even mentally lol), mainly with missing commas, but since I have no knowledge of scripts as a whole, I'm not sure if this is normal or not. All in all, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is our wonderful Harry Potter world with a new hero and new band of unlikely friends that is sure to be a treasured addition to your Potter library. I do hope, Ms. Rowling considers appeasing the masses and making a movie for this one. I can almost bet it would be a bigger hit than Fantastic Beasts and where to Find Them... or bigger than any other Harry Potter movie that's released. I give this book 5 of 5 paws.
