I anticipated this book to be different from the series by virtue of it being a play, and I'm glad I began reading with this mindset, as I think it allowed me to enjoy the book more. Sure, it's no Goblet of Fire or Half-Blood Prince, but it's familiar because of the characters, spells, and “flashbacks”. It was a funny and easy read (read in one sitting in a few hours), and I'd really love to be able to see the play in London to see the story come to life. I am thankful for another story but also for JK Rowling saying this is it for Harry Potter. In sum, Harry Potter fans will enjoy this read if for no other reason than getting another opportunity to spend time with beloved characters in the beloved non-muggle world.
