Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

I had forgotten that wonderful feeling in the midst of summer of burying yourself in an adventure with Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.  Once again, we have a new Harry Potter story, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child written by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne just released this summer.

Nineteen years have passed since the end of the last book and the next generation is battling evil.  This new book contains the script for a play which just opened in London. Be prepared to be reading stage directions and to have less description from J.K. Rowling – but as fans of the series know, these stories are always an active workout for the imagination!  Here, Rowling and her colleagues refer to past feats of heroism while conjuring more danger and suspense. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child also explores the relationship between Harry and his youngest son, the maturing and mellowing of old friends, and the power of good and evil. I read the four acts which comprise Part One and Part Two in several hours over the course of a sunny afternoon. Enjoy! [If you prefer to wait until the start of school we will have a copy in the library.]
