Description
“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” is a two-part stage play written by British playwright Jack Thorne, based on an original new story by Thorne, J.K. Rowling (the author of the original “Harry Potter” series), and John Tiffany. The play is designed to be performed in two separate parts, each presented as a separate production, and together they form a complete narrative.
The play is set nineteen years after the events of the final “Harry Potter” book, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” It follows the next generation of characters, including Harry Potter’s younger son Albus Severus Potter, as they navigate the challenges of their own time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” was first staged in London’s West End in July 2016 and received mixed reviews from critics and fans. Some praised the continuation of the “Harry Potter” universe and the nostalgic elements, while others had concerns about certain plot elements and character portrayals.
It’s important to note that “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” is primarily a theatrical production and was written as a play script, not a traditional novel. The script of the play was published in book form, allowing fans who couldn’t attend the live performances to experience the story. However, reading the script may provide a different experience compared to watching the play, as plays rely heavily on visual and performance elements.
While the play has been successful and has garnered its own fanbase, it’s worth considering that some fans of the original “Harry Potter” series might have varying opinions on “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” as it takes the beloved characters in new directions and explores different themes.

Being a harry potter fan i was eagerly waiting for this book. Its engaging,revive your old memories and makes you nostalgic. It is written like a play and is not so detailed as the previous ones. Loved it as it has strong characters, beautiful places and brilliant screen play. I would advise everyone to go for it. You wont regret it. Its a PRIZED POSSESSION for me.

The book quality as well as the content inside the book is very good.
It was really fun reading this book. But the book is pretty short. I wish they would make a movie on this playscript as it is a perfect story and it fits the end of the last movie.
The book starts from ending of the last part of harry Harry Potter (Deathly Hallows part 2) . Harry leaving his son Albus Severus Potter (Named after two headmasters of Hogwarts Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape) to 9 3/4 Station boarding the train to Hogwarts.
It has a lot of plot twists and things that you would never expect. So I think everyone who has watched full series of Harry Potter should read this book.
