It felt so forced I’m sorry but?? Like all the usual magic shit was there but yet it just didn’t feel like part of the series. Realistically since it’s a play I could’ve just stomached it but uhhh I’ve got about 9 other books staring at me right now so. Sorry?
I mean I already read it when I was a kid but I couldn’t remember much about it which is why I picked it up in the first place so um. I think I’ll just find a recap somewhere.

I hated this book. It felt unoriginal and repetitive which was truly disappointing from JK Rowling (but considering her current popularity maybe it’s to be expected).

One thing I truly despise in sequels or multiple volume stories is repetition. Of characters, tropes, villains, scenarios they demonstrate the creative limitations of the author and get boring after a while. This happens precisely in the Cursed Child.

Initial Review: Only reason I rated this 5 stars is because it's J. K. Rowling and I can't rate her anything else than the best. However, I was really disappointed in this book. :(

¿Hay alguien más insoportable que Harry? Si, Albus.

Yo sabía que este libro no me iba a gustar, había escuchado cosas muy malas pero, como cabeza dura que soy, necesitaba leerlo.
Me da tanta tristeza que Rowling haya permitido que publiquen esta historia, porque no solo los personajes son cualquier cosa (no se parecen en NADA a los originales), la trama parece sacada de un fanfic malo de wattpad.
Tal vez como una obra tiene más sentido pero eso no quita que es una idea muy mala, no me gusto nada de nada, y a medida que lo leía más me arrepentía de haberle dado una oportunidad. A mi déjenme con la saga principal, y Rowling por favor la proxima, si queres hacer mas dinero, escribí el libro vos misma.
