HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD - PARTS ONE AND TWO: THE OFFICIAL PLAYSCRIPT OF THE ORIGINAL WEST Paperback – 25 July 2017

All the expressions of the characters were well written and I really liked the Harry Potter Family Tree and Timeline which is very interesting for a Harry Potter nerd like me. It was nice that there were pictures and a video of the crew practising and doing exercises. It was interesting to read the names of the people who played a role in the play.

Recommended read. Wish we can have more such books to read. Awaiting more books so we can continue our Reading habit.

Without revealing (spoiling) it for everyone, I'll try and give an honest review about the script book i just finished reading.1) This is a script book to a play! In 'simple' words, it means the dialogues and story delivery won't be similar to the traditional HP novels. You're just plainly given what the characters say beside their names (with minimal expression description). BUT, the read was still very very fun for me. The writing is not at all stale (as some people claimed a script book might turn out to be). Infact, it'll keep you glued once you're immersed in it.2) The book gives you what was promised! A dive into the old HP world once again, with events from the old books frequently coming into play and a glimpse into the life of our now 'older characters'. At some places (in act two), you might feel like you're going through the old (already much published) concepts of the movies like 'Back to the future' and 'alternate realities' in a magical world. Though, the book does a nice come back (act three,four) and it gets better thereafter.3) It felt like the 8th instalment to the series is like a tribute to the previous story. It brings up some things that were left unsaid by a few characters. Plus, two of the most unlikely kids ( most annoying too, at the start ) and their parents get together to fight a new evil.4) Now some things that were odd, was watching your favourite characters old. And sometimes they got overly cheesy! Also, I think I missed some of the characters that deserved to be there! There is no explanation as to what they were upto during the events of the play.5) Overall, after reading this, I believe the play must have been epic!! Its sad that many of us couldn't watch it, though I'd like to in the future. The script book was a good read and there is no way that HP fans should miss this story even over a thousand bad reviews! So, just get your copy and enjoy.

quality of book is best ❤️If ur harry potter fan u must resd ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰

Perfect for Potter head

This book started off where the last one had ended. Harry and the gang have had their children. Albus and Scorpius are the children of Harry and Draco. We see their adventure in this book which to me was just a whimsical teenage episode.This book has a script style writing which means it is wholly based on dialogs and we don’t find any kind of narration. Hence this book was an easy and entertaining read for me. The main emotion that pre-dominated me in this book was nostalgia. I was so attached to the harry potter series when I was young that all those emotion swept me away. As they had to time travel the characters and the plots involved in this book had left me with many pleasant memories from the earlier adventures. This book took us to the tournament which I read about in the Goblet of Fire and hence much of the earlier adventures were explored.The most promising and attracting and satisfying thing about this book was the relation between Albus and Scorpius. They were so adorable together that I was completely ok with their friendship. Some of the lines made me cringe while I was reading but I can definitely say I enjoyed their relation that they developed during this book. I loved the little funny moments that they had and the emotional bombs left me on my seat with tears.This book definitely did not have the impact that I thought it would have like the previous books in this series. JK Rowling has a magical style of writing that just engrosses every reader. But this book being a play by mainly Jack Thorn could not create the magic. The world building or rather the plot building and also the character building was very poor as there was no narration and only full of dialogs. I would have liked if the characters were more developed. I could have better understood why they did the things they had done in this book.The plot was honestly dumb and was heavily concentrated on time travelling and just exploring the past occurrences. The time travelling has left many plot holes which I would have lived without knowing. Albus was portrayed as just a confused teenage boy who rebelled against his father. I could not relate to many of the characters and that had me really frustrated. One pleasant thing that happened was Drago. He had his redemption in this book. He had completely transformed into a person which I was pleasant to see. And his son Scorpius Malfoy was by far my favorite character in this book. At some point I thought his character was too good to be true. He was this adorable, innocent, sweet little boy who could not NOT be loved. On the other hand Delphi (a certain character you will come to know) was a character I just could not accept. I mean how can she be even present in this book? How can they be her parents? A big NO NO to her character. A very BIG NOOOOOO.Ron, Hermione and Rose (their daughter) were mere side characters in this book. But they are so much more than that. Hermione is so witty and logical and Ron was so courageous and helpful in the past books. But they lost their characters in this book. They acted completely out of their characters. Ron was there only to give a comical relief which was very disappointing.Though this book was very disappointing but I had to read it and it also left me with nostalgia which was really sweet and satisfying. So I would recommend this book to those who will go into it without any kind of expectation of having an epic adventure because you won’t get one. But it will leave you with sweet memories and pure nostalgia.

Very nice packaging and book cover 🙂 totally worth it for potter heads

It's a must have for people who grew up with Harry Potter movies and books.It's a play that gives the fans another chance to visit the magical world.
