Review: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2
Gaby Meares
To make it perfectly clear: this is not a novel! It is a script for a play NOT written by J. K. Rowling, but based on a story she created. So it lacks any resemblance to the nuanced books we have all read and reread by Rowling. However, it will undoubtedly be enjoyed by all the Potter fans.
The story picks up from where Deathly Hallows finishes, and follows the adventures of Harry & Ginny’s son Albus, and his best friend Scorpius, son of Draco Malfoy. There are many nods to plot threads from the Harry Potter novels, and it is fun to see how time has treated “the boy who lived”, who is now an over anxious 40 year old father.
This is one for all the Harry Potter enthusiasts.
