SO, i'm a 8th grader or i would be in my fourth year, so i read the harry potter book millions of times,i started reading them in the first grade and now i'm in the 8th grade, so like i was saying i'm a huge harry potter fen or the biggest potter head ever, i'm a giffindor, so when cursed child comes out i thought it will be good, because all the harry potter gang is all grown up and in the future, so i get the book and start reading it the first page is good but the more and more i read the worse and worse it gets, i get done with it in a hour and when i'm done i want to burn it, the how bad the book is. i'm a nice person but the book is so bad that i could not even give the book 2 stars, the setting is good, and the plot not so much, i mean come on harry potter son albus thinks his dad dose not like him and wants to be better or just like his dad so he try's to bring back someone from the dead that kind of kills his dad, well i'm not going to say the name but he kills nevall before he kills the snake and voldemort kills harrys but still albus is no words for him, the people from the harry potter books are good but in the cursed child the book makes them sound old, draco's son is cool i mean i mean if the book was about draco's son it would have been better, so i don't recomound this to other potter heads.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in London’s West End on July 30, 2016.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places."

Hmmmm...Let me think... So a curious little Ravenclaw finishes the entire Harry Potter series and thinks, “The Cursed Child couldn’t be that bad, could it?” So then the fourth year picks up the Cursed Child and starts reading. And that’s when things get ugly. So the Ravenclaw (me), is now writing a review...enjoy. Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, lets do this. So the very first thing I realized is that IT IS NOT EVEN WRITTEN BY J.K ROWLING, UMM...OK The Ravenclaw thought that was weird. Then I was like, “What The heck, it’s still Harry Potter.” Children, do not fall for that trap. The writing started out pretty well then crashed, broke and well... disintegrated. I kind of liked the concept of Harry in the future, but his son was like the stereo-typical-American-boy. He is ashamed because he can’t be like his dad, and therefore JEALOUS from his dad. #1- Why be jealous of your dad? And #2- Why did you make the storyline so predictable? Because...ummm, the original Harry Potter (yes I said original) was nowhere that low. ***********Setting********** The setting was, well, good I guess? The setting was just like the Harry Potter series, so nothing to compare. ***********Characters****** Oh, great, this is gonna take a long time... Albus- Was, well, the “I-am-misunderstood-and-you-guys-hate-me-even-though-i-am-your-son, type of guy. As I mentioned before, he is jealous of his dad because he saved the world. That makes me wanna grab his shoulders, shake him, and tell him, “IF IT ISN’T FOR YOUR DAD YOU WOULDN’T EVEN BE ALIVE!” Then offer him Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans. Harry- Was Harry. But it kind of saddened me that he apologized to his kid for doing nothing. But thankfully I was yelling in the background, “HARRY HONEY YOU DID NOTHING WRONG,YOU JUST GAVE BIRTH TO VOLDEMORT’S TWIN!” *haha, not really* Ginny- Was Ginny. Except that she didn’t really take part in the story. Sounds weird? Let me tell you this. Moms care about their children, and Ginny really didn’t care if her son got slaughtered. Ummmm... you’re not the mother of the year. Ron- In The Cursed Child, Ron owns the Weasley’s joke shop. So should I assume that *SPOILER* George is dead too?! *sniff* Hermione- I NEVER KNEW SHES THE MINISTER FOR MAGIC! + Did J.K Rowling ever mention that? I have no idea... In all, no. I wish I never read this book. (Is it a book? Script? A complete disappointment?) But I am a very serious Harry Potter fan so, umm, I’ll give it a two star rating. Just because I am nice. (I think)
I agree wholeheartedly. This book was a complete disaster. I barely got 3/4s way into it before I said "Yep, done finished" I would not recommend this book
The way it is written is intresting
I am OVER the top about Harry Potter. You could say I'm a Potter Head I have read them all. If you like Magic this is the book for you
This is a great book that I personally loved. The book is about Harry Potter's son, Albus Severus. Albus is burdened with the pressure to become just like his father, who was the hero of the wizarding world. But when Albus befriends Scorpio Malfoy, the son of Harry's old nemesis, Draco Malfoy and is sorted into the Slytherin house, Albus is sneered at. But did Harry Potter, hero of the wizarding world, the Boy That Lived, actually sacrifice more people than he saved? When Albus and Scorpio go on a mission to save one of the kids that was killed by Voldemort, they cause more trouble than they can solve alone. I loved this book, and I think you will too.
I personally LOVE this series. This is a sequel to the amazing harry potter series. This play is about harry potter's son, Albus.

this book is awsome
im 13 and this book is a very good one
I do not think it is as good as the others. Its just too confusing and a bit strange (even for wizards)
I did not like it and would not recommend it but if even though i'm a potter head i really did not like this book but you other potter heads might, but i do not think so, let me ask you this my potter head friend can you think about harry and draco with kids and wifes and all grown up, if you can not or do not want to its ok i do not want to think about it to, so its just a bad book.
