erm, why did i not like this??? i loved scorpius but like that's it... all the rest of the characters had no personality or were completely awful. NOTHING like the original series. idk bro maybe it would be a good play to see in person but the plot was also weird so even that wasn't redeeming to me. 2 stars for scorpius and the scorbus relationship because they are adorable!!
It's Harry Potter and I love all things Harry Potter. However, it didn't feel like J. K. Rowling's style and that may very well be because it's a play and co-written with John Tiffany and Jack Thorne. There were lines that were just too cheesy for a Harry Potter book. Harry, Ron, and Hermione didn't feel like Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I didn't cry, laugh, or feel the emotional roller coaster I felt when I read the other Harry Potter books and that was disappointing to me. Perhaps the play is more enjoyable when watching it on stage and not reading it but I am sad that this story wasn't all that I had hoped it would be.
I would probably give this more like 4.5 stars but I'm going to give it a 5 because, it's freaking Harry Potter. to read these wonderful characters again was a beautiful treat. I would pay such good money to see this show.

Anche se è ben diverso dai libri con i quali la Rowling mi ha accompagnato negli anni, l'ho trovato davvero entusiasmante. Ovviamente è il testo di una pièce teatrale, le scene catapultano immediatamente il lettore (e lo spettatore) nell'azione, per questo non ci sono le spettacolari descrizioni dei precedenti sette libri. Tutto sommato mi sono piaciuti diversi passaggi, anche se altri li ho trovati facilmente prevedibili e, ahimè, scontati. La Rowling ha soltanto supervisionato tutto questo lavoro, quindi non mi sorprende che questo libro non sia qualitativamente alla pari rispetto ai sette capitoli precedenti della storia.
Amazing from start to finish. I loved the development of Draco and Harry. It was nice to see someone in Slytherin do something good!
While I finished even one star is to much…
Jack Thorne, I seriously doubt that he properly read Harry Potter. I have read books written by many foolish writers, but this guy clearly takes the throne.
Writing about time turners with absolutely no idea how time works.
It pains me to see J.K. Rowling written large on the cover. The book is a disgrace to the whole series.
