1st Quarter Book Review

For my first quarter book, I chose Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, by J.K Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany that is 321 pages long. Since the book is put 25-30 years into the future, Harry is no longer the very main character. His son, Albus Severus Potter, is the new main character. He is a good twist to the Harry Potter series because you can see how much he is like his father, but the very noticeable differences. I felt very connected to him because he is at my age throughout the play and I can see where he is coming from in some of the decisions he makes. The major plot points were not predictable, to me, because you never really know what's going to happen in the Harry Potter series. To find out that he thinks the way he thinks and the actions he does are very unpredictable and shocking to anyone that really cares about the Harry Potter series. The characters in this story were on both the calm and outgoing side. Albus's best friend, Scorpius, is the one that kept Albus in check and was the more calm one when it came to missions, while Albus was the one to immediately jump into it (like his father). It helped the story because it got the readers a bit of nostalgia while reading because it reminds us of the original Harry Potter. We get to see that he passed this onto his son and that there is still more adventure to be told. If I were to change anything about the book/script, is that I would make it into an actual book. I want it to go more into depth and see this new beginning of a new era of heroes. It doesn't have to be necessarily Ron, Hermoine, and Harrys offspring, but it could be more people. The best part of the Harry Potter books were that it went into depth about the characters and it showed us how we can learn to love characters through seven different books. It made readers think that they're in Hogwarts and that they truly lived the lives of these people. If this was to turn into a new era of series that goes into depth and goes through his years, book by book, I would love it much more. However, they will most likely not do that, yet I still truly recommend reading this if you are a Harry Potter fan. If you haven't read the books yet, then I believe you should.
