Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling et al.


TITLE:  Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (HP #8)   <---Debatable
AUTHOR:  Rowling, J.K.; Tiffany, John; Thorne, Jack
GENRE:  Screenplay
DATES READ:  8/3/2016 - 8/4/2016
MY RATING:  4/5

This is the rehearsal screenplay of Harry Potter #8!!!  I got it at the midnight release party at the Bookclub Bookstore & More in Westfield, MA.

It only took me a day to read this, and I'm a little disheartened by most of the reviews I've been reading online.

It was a screenplay!  I don't think it's comparable to the books, nor should it be.  That's why I put that it's a debatable Harry Potter #8.  This story may follow the previous #7, but it's a script/screenplay.  And a script/screenplay is intended to be a performance on stage, with music and effects.  The plot itself is interesting, and it's truly a breeze to read, even in the different format.  It was nice to see the brief epilogue extended.

I'm all for more Harry Potter, no matter the format, time, flavor, relevance, etc.  I enjoyed reading through the script, and would love to see it performed on stage someday!

Will read and write as soon as I can!
