Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by JK Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne

Do I love Harry Potter?  Absolutely!  Do I love the entire premise of the series?  Definitely!  Did I love Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?  I didn't LOVE it, but I didn't hate it either.

I have read the Harry Potter series at least four times.  (And yes, it is nearly time to start again.)  I love Harry Potter, and I particularly loved the vivid descriptions that abounded in the books.  That being said, I liked the plot, story line and new characters in the Cursed Child.  I understand Harry's parenting woes, and since I have raised two children, I totally get that our we misunderstand our children, and they misunderstand us.

If I were watching this as a play, or reading this with a group of students,  this play would be amazing, and I do hope to see it very soon,  but here I am stuck in my Potter World, and I missed the old ways.

If you are a Potter fan like me, I would recommend that you read the play, but I would also recommend that you see the play as soon as you possibly can.  That, I think, will bring back some of the magic.
