Harry Potter And The Cursed Child Review With HUGE Spoilers


Hey there Harry Potter fans i like the rest of the world have the newest HP adventure in my collection and i'm going to review it right here right now so get ready because there will be alot of spoilers.


Now before i begin i will only be reviewing the book and not the stage play so here we go. The story for the book picks up literally when the final book ends and it mainly focuses on Harry , Ginny , Hermione , Ron , Draco and the sons of Harry and Draco and i have to admit the book does all of the characters justice and does a great job of making Albus a flawed character and the same goes for Harry. The story as well is really easy to follow and has plenty of twists and turns that keep you hooked from start to the draw dropping finish.


The writer Jack Thorne does a great job of not only telling us what the characters have been up to in the years since the seventh book and this one and also telling a wonderfully crafted story the characters are almost exactly as you remember them and while there are times when you will hate Harry for what he says and does in the book i got the feeling that's because the story is being told from the point of view of Albus so your seeing Harry as Albus see's him just like we see Ginny as this wonderful caring mother. 

The characters have grown up alot in the 19 years between storys we see that Harry as a job in Magical Law Enforcement , Hermione is now the Minister Of Magic , Ron works at his brothers Joke shop but is mostly a stay at home dad and Ginny writes for Daily Prophet doing all the sports articles and Draco is still Draco in that he's a bit of bully to the characters but even he grows as a person by the time the book is finished to the point were he and Harry are friends.


Hermione herself takes on a more assertive role this time often telling Harry and Ron when there in the wrong and is one of the people who works out why Delphi is going back in time. There are alot of twists and turns in this story and that's good because it keeps you guessing which way the story is going to go at first you think it's going one way and then something will happen and it goes another way.

Now onto the biggest surprise the reveal that the Dark Lord himself has a kid and that you the reader have until that point hopefully have been cheering her on because we find out the Delphi is Voldermorts daughter and it's done in a way that was really well handled i wont give away two much about the scene but it is worth reading just to see how they do it and you also find out who her mother is and it is ....................................Bellatrix Lestrange it turns out that some point during The Deathly Hallows the dark lord felt a little randy and got it on with Bellatrix.


The third act is really thrilling it's also very well written and very action packed again not much will be spoiled but it does involve the date October 31st 1981 and Godric's Hollow. I actually liked how they portrayed Ron in the book he was always the goof ball of the trio and since this film is so dark and it does get quite heavy at times to me it makes sense that they would make him the comic relief and we do get to see alot of your favorite characters come back and some are not in the way you'd think either and others are exactly how you think they would come back.

Overall if this is the end of Harry's story then i'm glad it's ended here but i don't want it to be the end of Albus's and Scorpius's story tho i reckon they have a few more adventures left in them so overall i would give this book a solid 8 out of 10 because while it is really good it does also have it's problems.
