Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in London's West End on July 30, 2016.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
Ich hatte absolut kein Problem mit der Skript Form und es war sehr unterhaltsam. Die Freundschaft zwischen Albus und Scorpius ist eines der Dinge, die mir am besten an Band 8 gefallen und wenn es 2020 in Deutschland aufgeführt wird, bin ich als Zuschauer dabei! Doch musste Snape auftauchen und dann schon wieder sterben? Wie ist Hermine Ministerin geworden, denn nach Band 7 war das Kingsley Shacklebolt! Hätte man nicht endlich mal eine komplett überraschende Wendung drin haben können wie das beliebte Fanfiction Paar Albus/Scorpius? Außerdem spielt ein einziger Schauspieler sowohl Voldemort als auch Snape und Onkel Vernon!
Trotzdem ein weiterer, interessanter Ausflug in die Welt von Harry Potter!
Definitely not the eighth Harry Potter book any of us wanted

The good thing about this play is that it's short and the font is gigantic so I read this in two or three hours in the middle of the night after work because I couldn't sleep without having read it first. Well, afterwards I couldn't sleep because I was so angry.
Saying the characterization sucks would be an understatement. Harry Potter, the orphan who grew up with an abusive aunt and uncle, who suffered every day at the hands of people who didn't want him, said to his son "Sometimes I wish you had never been born". I mean???? What the actuall hell were the authors thinking?! (Also important sidenote, apparently J.K. Rowling did not at all write this book. The name is just on the cover for kicks)
There were also such gems as Ron being so drunk on his wedding he didn't even remember it, Scorpious supposedly being the son of Lord Voldemort and Cedric Diggory becoming a Death Eater because some people laughed at him.
Just stay away from this book if you like Harry Potter. Save yourself. Save Albus and Scorpious because these two lovely, adorable goofballs deserve better than suffering another read of this screwed up, pathetic excuse for a good story.

Because of this book the magical world we loved for so long, we still love so dearly, came to life once more and I immediately felt at home when I opened the first page.
This eighth story continues right where Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows left off. It is set nineteen years after Voldemort was defeated and tells us about Harrys son Albus Severus Potter and his growing friendship with Scorpius Malfoy.
These two characters instantly felt so familiar and I absolutely loved them so much. I was scared for them so many times but I also had to laugh out loud sometimes because of the hilarious line of certain other characters.
This book is the official sript book for this Harry Potter play and I would love to see this in the theater some day.
It was a great experience to read this completely new story with new as well as already known and well loved characters.
I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Harry Potter! Read it! Its deffinitely worth your time.

The Special Rehearsal Edition Script of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is a must-have for every fan. It's set 19 years after "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and focuses on Harry's middle child Albus Severus Potter.
Albus just started his first year at Hogwarts, ends up in the "wrong" house and isn't exactly Mr Popular. Together with his best friend Scorpius he sets out to right a great injustice, but it doesn't really go the way they expected. Will Albus and Scorpius be able to end the chaos that follows or will the changes they caused to everything and everyone they know be permanent?
Even though I much prefer novels to plays, I really loved "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child". It's great to see what life had in store for our favorite wizards and witches, and it's also nice to get to know the new generation. Scorpius is easily, my favorite of the new characters.
The plot line itself is gripping, intricate and about nothing you could have expected. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so I'll just say, it's simply fantastic! No, it's more than that - it's mind-blowing!
A little something I will criticise, though: Some occurrences don't completely make sense to me and at one point even ignore the rules previously set up by the author. I don't know if this is deliberate or just seems that way because if seen on stage it will be self-explanatory.
Speaking of the stage, I'd really love to see how this story is put to life in the theater. Because of the frequent use of magic I imagine it's quite difficult without the help of green screens and the like.
I highly recommend "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child". It doesn't matter if you are male or female, young or old. If you enjoyed the series, you will just love this play, too.
On a side note, if you are a fan of "A Very Potter Musical" you'll have an even greater time reading this, because Team Starkid seem to have been on to something there...
