Regarding format: I'm used to reading plays, so it was "interesting" to also have them explain feelings, thoughts and memories - and not just the visible part.
Finally, I felt the target audience of this book/play must have been younger than for the last books. The themes seem less mature and as someone else put it "unnecessary [teenage] drama" about identity and family relationships.

but the play wasn't bad at all, I did like Scorpius and Albus a lot and the story and characters carries you over some awkward writing
pros:
- by virtue of it being a script, it's quick to read, punchy and gripping. the plot whisks along.
- it went darker than I expected and I liked that, it wasn't afraid to shy away from the dark stuff explored in the OG canon, and even go darker with the world that could've been
- I've read scorpius and Albus fanfic for a while so it was cool to see where aspects of fanon had come from
cons:
- the impact on Albus of being Harry's son still wasn't entirely explored and could've been more addressed. their relationship was better, but there was still real pain for Albus in being different
- i liked Harry and draco's new friendship but it was a bit of a fast turnaround
- Harry was just generally dislikable tbh and ginny was unremarkable, as she was in the books imo. the kids definitely stole the show.
- there could've been more of Harry still healing from the trauma, but what was there was pretty good.
overall, i did like it a lot. shame (one of) the author(s) is a pile of shit.

Objectively, was it bad? Pretty much. But if you treat this like a book that was written a long time after the ending of a series, then it has the potential to be enjoyed.
(Plus, I borrowed this book from the library so J.K. Rowling did not receive any of my money)
