Harry Potter And The Cursed Child Book Rating

The latest installment in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,' has been met with mixed reviews from both fans and critics alike.

Released as a two-part stage play followed by a book edition, this story takes place 19 years after the events of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.' The narrative follows Harry's son, now named Scorpius Malfoy-Weasley-Potter (yes, you read that right), who somehow ends up in Hogwarts as an eleven-year-old.

Scorpius quickly befriends his best friend, Albus Severus Weasley-Dumbledore-Malfoy Potter-Snape. Together they embark on a series of adventures through time and magic, all while trying to figure out their own identities within the wizarding world.

The book has received mixed reviews due to its convoluted plotlines that often feel like an excuse for nostalgia rather than actual storytelling. Some fans have also expressed disappointment with certain characterizations and relationships introduced throughout the story.

Overall, 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' is a solid addition to the series but may not live up to everyone's expectations given its somewhat predictable ending and lack of true surprises along the way.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
