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.

SO i finally read this book. i know its little late. But finally i did. Its awesome. The reason i gave this book 4 star is because of new sense of story line. And the problem in this book is that it is not scripted. And its little childish. Nevertheless , i must recommend this if you are fan of harry potter

It is a play script so it isn’t a fluent reading like novel. And it is no match to what original 7 HP books are but still interesting reading.
