Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two by J.K. Rowling

3.0

My biggest problem was this book was not the story, it was that it is a play. In my opinion, it should have been written as a book and then a play. Instead, it was written for the purpose of a play and then they just published that script. This book had the potential to be so great and give all Harry Potter fans more from the Wizarding World, but it was difficult reading it as a play. With just brief scene analysis and hardly any descriptions, it was difficult to picture. Had this been an actual book, it would have been so so so so so much better. The writing in this book also does not live up to the Harry Potter standard. It is not solely written by J.K Rowling as we know and love the rest of Harry Potter, and it shows. There were also a lot of things the characters we have known for so long did that I felt like they would never do.
