Hey everyone!
I hope you’re all happy and well on this lovely Monday morning. August already!! I can’t believe it. One week into my summer holiday as well. Time really does fly.
Well, yesterday the big day finally came, the day when the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play script was released, on Harry’s birthday nonetheless.
I’m excited but apprehensive like everyone else I guess. When you grow up with something it becomes a part of you. When something gets changed or adapted or added to, you always wonder whether it will be as wonderful as you expect it to be. Yet, I’ve got no doubt I will fall in love with this.
However, this is marred with some sadness. It is the end. I can’t believe this is really it. Rowling said herself:
“He goes on a very big journey during these two plays and then, yeah, I think we’re done. This is the next generation, you know. So, I’m thrilled to see it realised so beautifully but, no, Harry is done now.”
Could this ever really be the end when so many live and breathe Harry Potter?
Regardless, I’ll see you on the other side. Have you got yours?
Magic is happening all over again. I can’t wait!
Big love. Xx

When I heard there would be another Harry Potter book I got excited like everyone else but since it is a play / script, I feel a bit let down. Could have been a novel 😦

I loved it. It works as a play script I think. It’s well worth a read. Have you read it?

No, I haven’t because I thought a non-novel would not appeal to me. But I guess based on your feedback, I would try it out.

Haha, I’m very skeptical about her “no more Potter comment,” because she’s said that plenty of times before. I really did not like Cursed Child but I wanted to like it so badly
I’ll have a review up soon. It was super fun to celebrate the release, though!

I will have a long post about it, lol (don’t want to put any spoilers here), but as a whole I felt it was like reading fanfic.

I really enjoyed it actually. I thought it was just as magical as the novels. I really want to see this in London now on stage. I bet it’s amazing.
However, there have been some criticisms towards it. I don’t see it myself but each to their own.

It’s each to their own opinions, that’s why critics are pointless

Exactly. We all like different things and we all respond differently. That’s what makes us human.

I’d just like to say if anyone is afraid or not being able to mentally prepare themselves to take hold of the book, take a deep breath and GO FOR IT! I absolutely LOVED IT! It’s ok if u may not like it as much (since the book has had mixed reviews) but u may as well fall in love with it like I did. It was so fluent, smooth and more like a satisfying end to it all. All the pieces falling in place. I really enjoyed it!≤3
