I would have enjoyed this far more if it was an ACTUAL book.

This is a play script with the plot revolving around Harry Potter's middle son, Albus, -- like, literally, you barely see or hear about his other two children -- and his best friend, who is none other than Draco Malfoy's offspring, Scorpius. The two young boys go after dangerous adventures, involving even Voldemort.

The first half of the book was actually pretty boring and even pointless

Really enjoyed

I can see why people don't like this but once I got into it I couldn't put it down. I found it very satisfying and a pleasure to revisit old friends.

Really more of a 3.5/5 for me, but I'm rounding up. Many have told me or I've read it reads like fan fiction and they are right. It seems odd that Rowling really had much to do with this one. I will say that it was an enjoyable couple of hours it didn't feel like a Potter book. Maybe it was the play format, maybe it was just the age of the characters we all know and love. Anyway, it is worth it to read. ...more
