A review by gretafaith
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - 2 Book Bundle Collection by J.K. Rowling
3.0
First of all, this book is so different from the original series in format, characters, and story that it's pretty much impossible to answer the question, "Is it as good as the original series?" On its own, this book was not only dramatic and suspenseful, it was charming and nostalgic.
The only complaints i have are in relation to the original series. This was supposed to be building off the original series, and the authors did a pretty good job with this other than the characters themselves. It felt like they didn't really understand the personalities of the original characters and they were changed so much they were almost like new ones. For example, Ron had lost all his bravery and charm and was essentially the useless "dumb uncle".
Other than that, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to other Harry Potter fans.
