Tome Thursday: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child


Hello everyone!

Right off the bat, I would like to warn anyone reading this blog that it's not going to be a positive entry, nor is it going to be lavish with praise or filled with the kind of commentary I've seen people gush out when it comes to the book I'm about to describe. This is, plain and simple, going to be a negative review, so if you feel like you disagree with me or if you don't want to read that kind of thing, stop now while you're ahead and come back next week when I'll be doing another, different book.

That now out of the way, allow me to say that, despite the fact that I haven't been one of Harry Potter's avid fans (I don't think I ever was), I do tend to go back to the books every once in a while, especially the first three, which remain ranked at the top of the list of the whole series.

This means that, when news broke there would be a continuation in the form of a play, and then that play was going to be published in an actual book version, I was as excited as the rest of the world to see what was about to happen.

After all, fans around the globe had banded together before to form roleplay forums, discuss ideas and questions, and come up with their own alternate storylines, among other things.

So obviously, when it came to the Cursed Child, expectations ran high.
