Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two

To be honest, wasn't a huge fan. The main reason I gave the book the stars I did is because I so delighted in being back in the world of Harry Potter, and it was an enjoyable, quick, escapist read However, I felt the script style was a hindrance - not only did the book feel like more of a short story than an actual, developed book, but I found it exceptionally hard to picture the characters as middle-aged, or to picture (let alone understand, empathize with) the newer characters, at all. I know this was meant for the stage thus adding a bit of a caveat to my complaint of overall development (character and plot), but still, I had higher hopes. Would still recommend to anyone who loves the Harry Potter wizarding world - but would offer that recommendation with a heavy dose of “don't get your hopes up.”
