Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts I & II by J.K. Rowling
The Eighth Tale in the Harry Potter Saga
Being labelled as 'the boy who lived' for his whole life has not been easy for Harry Potter. In the official eighth instalment of the Harry Potter series penned in the form of a two-part stage production play, J. K. Rowling weaves yet another thrilling and magical yarn featuring the life of Harry Potter nineteen years later in the post-Voldemort wizarding world.
A glimpse into the epic tale
Harry Potter plays the role of a man finally living out the quiet, conventional lifestyle he always wanted to live as a Minister of Magic employee, who is a doting husband and father of three. Yet, he struggles to escape the haunting past, the demons of which continue to consume him. The play also features a grown up Albus Severus Potter following the footsteps of his legendary father and labouring to carry the burden of a family bequest and fortune he hadn't expected. As the past meets the present, the legendary father and son duo strive to come in terms with the darkness that lies within and overcome their inner demons.
The Play
The 'Harry Potter And The Cursed Child: The Play' airs for the first time at the London Palace Theatre on July 30th, 2016. The play is based on the book written by Jack Thorne in collaboration with J. K. Rowling and the book is scheduled to release on July 31st, 2016. On 10th February, 2016, it was declared that the scripts of both the parts of the play would be released in both digital and print formats.
J. K. Rowling promises to take fans deeper into the recesses of Harry Potter's mind as the play showcases the life of Potter when he was an unwanted orphan.
About The Author
Harry Potter has often been declared as one of the most read and most loved sagas by children and adults alike; each book explores the wondrous world of wizards and leaves us with relatable lessons that has kept even adults glued to these books for years and years. Born in England, Joanne "Jo" Rowling conceived the entire plot for the Harry Potter series on a train-ride as she was working as a researcher for Amnesty International. The first novel in the seven-part series, Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone was launched in 2000. And the rest as we know it, is history!

It was amazing revisiting the world of Harry Potter, especially for a diehard fan like me. It definitely lacks JK Rowling's writing style and the play script format takes some getting used to.
Overall there were many things I didn't agree with in the plot, but enjoyed the book very much.
Definite read for HP fans.
The story is good. But JKR and other two writers used time turner so many times in so many places. Actually, at one time I thought the title of the book should be "Harry Potter and the Time Turner"(!).
Though I enjoyed it I expected a lot more than this from JKR. In this story, you will see that Ron is kind of joker! The importance of the trio has never been seen in any pages of this book.
However, I have already started waiting for the 9th story(though I have heard that she won't write anymore on Harry Potter) like all potterheads around the world! '
