Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by John TiffanyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
While reading this book, it has to be kept in mind that this is not a book, it is a script of a play. It does not have detailed descriptions, it relies on dialogues to carry it forward. It can only depict emotions through the dialogues, the author does not have the freedom to delve into the mind of the characters and detail out the thoughts fleeting through each person. But I liked it for various reasons, it brings together two enemies in first set of books. It also shows that each person is independent in thoughts and action, it does not matter who the parents were and how they turned out to be. This book is not like the first seven books in that it does not give any details about how life at Hogwarts is going on, or any details about day-to-day life, and considering that it is a play, it is very easy to see how boring it will become. It quickly flips through to the important parts, which might be one year or multiple years as needed. There are some holes I felt, which were not explained with sufficient clarity, but some loose ends were tied up more satisfactorily.
Overall, I would say I loved this ability to go back in time and devour another Harry Potter.
