Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One and Two by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne
1.0
N.E.W.T. - Defense Against the Dark Arts
Acceptable: Read a book that is black under the dust jacket.
What in the flying Nimbus 2000 was this excuse of a Harry Potter story? No, seriously, what the fuck? I think my reading updates and the shelves I put this thing in are very telling. It both angered me and made me roll my eyes all the way around, to the point I was scared they'd get stuck or something if I kept rolling them. It was so stupid and nonsensical it fucking hurt.
And pardon my English but, for fuck's sake... This absurdity of a book took the canon and threw it on the trash for its own convenience. The dialogues were painful to read, the character's personalities were replaced by a joke of themselves (a bad one, may I add), the plot was based in incredibly stupid decisions that disregarded any prior work in the Harry Potter universe... I'm not even a hardcore fan and I'm pissed, so I can imagine what the hardcore ones may feel. So much so, I can't even imagine this script being any better in theaters. Way to go, JK and writing crew, trying to get a cheap buck out of the zillion fans Harry Potter has.
One star for the edition itself, that is really pretty (and was gifted to me, thanks to the dark lord.) The rest is a no from me, fam.
