A review by becrossenrode
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling

3.0

People are judging this so harshly and comparing it to the Harry Potter series which I think is completely wrong. You can't go into this thinking it will be anything like the book series. For starters, the medium is completely different. It's a play not a novel and reads brilliantly like a play. I can truly imagine the wonderful sets, set changes, costuming and stage directions.

The play isn't as serious as the novel series but why should it be? I like that it is so different to the series. I think it would have been a mistake to make it so like the novels. Harry Potter ended at the Deathly Hallows. PERIOD.

Thus, this is just a fun, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, experience for huge Harry Potter fans to enjoy. I loved this fun and humorous little story. Seeing the play in West End would be AMAZING. I loved meeting all the new characters and saying hello to all the beloved characters.

Overall, I enjoyed Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for what it is, a funny and humorous little script from what I can imagine is an exciting and engaging West End show!!
