I am disappointed and angry! Well, I wanted to re-read the whole series then pick this up but I couldn't stop thinking about it!! And I felt so nervous now because I have seen mixed ratings and reviews for it.
So, yeah, WELCOME BACK HARRY! [image]
What I was excited to read in the book: 1) Albus and Harry's relationship. I wanted to read about the kind parent Harry is supposed to be. [image]
2) Hermoine and her way in thinking and making great decisions, and Ron the funny but dependable friend.
3) The Malfoys because Draco is one of my favorite characters in HP books after Snape and Harry -of course-. [image]
4) I wish the three kids were going to be friends! [image]

Writing-style: I think this is the most disappointing part for me. I didn't feel Rowling's touch in the book this time! So, I feel she isn't the main writer for the book although her name took the biggest attention on the cover.
Plot: I won't talk much about it because it will spoil most of the book, but here we follow the main HP characters' children, Albus Potter, Rose Weasley and scorpius Malfoy. I liked the plot twists and it brought so many memories from the older books. But I expected more explanations. A lot of magic that happened was so unclear to me! Repeating the same scenes every time they (view spoiler)[traveled in time (hide spoiler)] was unnecessary to be written in the same way. I know this is a play but as a written book it is just so annoying.
Characters 1) The Malfoys, both Draco and Scorpius, were the best! Draco was an awesome father and I liked his friendship with Albus so much. The Malfoys never disappoint me! :) (view spoiler)[and I am so happy Snape is back again! ❤️ (hide spoiler)]
2) I loved Scorpius so much more than Albus. I don't know how to describe Albus, but he made me feel confused!
3) This can't be Harry!!! He is the worst father! He just kept hurting people and that's not what I expected from Harry at all! I wanted to read about the brave kind Harry.
“Albus: No! I just wished you weren't my dad. Harry (seeing red): Well, there are times I wish you weren't my son.”
“Harry: Albus didn't like me before. He might not like me again. But he will be safe. With the greatest respect, Minerva -you don't have children-. Ginny: Harry! Harry: -you don't understand.”
This is not Harry, I swear. But unlike harry, Ginny was amazing.
4) Ron here seems so silly, he just keeps telling jokes! But from other HP books he is a mix of a funny and a so dependable guy. That's how I feel about Ron from books or movies.

- Now I believe it must be seen as a play! And I really wanted to have any chance to watch this as a play, it has to be so much fun than reading a play script. [image]
I don't want to read any other new HP books! I don't want to hate all the characters I used to love for a long time. I am sorry. I really tried to love this book more but I couldn't....more
