Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by John Tiffany

4.0

Wow! It's kind of complicated to write down a review about this book. Nevertheless, I'll try, and I hope it would be helpful for anyone who wants to know a bit about it. So let's cut to the chase!

"The scar has not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well." Those were the last words in [b:Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|136251|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter, #7)|J.K. Rowling|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1370023538s/136251.jpg|2963218], and nine years later the scene is revived and continued.

Harry's and Ginny's son, Albus Severus, and Draco's son, Scorpius, go to Hogwarts and become very close. Like their parents, they get in trouble and don't realise how serious things are until it's too late.

On the one hand, Albus and Harry have a difficult father-son relationship; moreover, his life in Hogwarts hasn't been easy. On the other hand, Scorpius has to bear the burden of certain rumours about who his real father is. These facts lead them to do what they do ... don't worry, I won't tell anymore.

There are several (beloved) characters who reappear, though we don't get the chance to enjoy their presence for too long.

Regarding Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Draco, we see them now in a new facet. They are in their forties, and have raised their own families. They have to deal with their jobs and children's problems. Although, there is a thing that hasn't changed; they have maintained their friendship. Even Draco stays close to them.

I'd like to talk about the plot, but my mind is still whirling. It still has a bit of the essence of the previous Harry Potter books, but it's not enough. The story is fine, though I was hoping to see more of Harry and company. Anyway, it's good to have Harry Potter back!
