** spoiler alert ** 
 It's always an excitement to read anything that has to do with J.K. Rowling and the magical universe she's created, she never runs out of ideas. The story of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is no exception. I loved the plot, but the writing itself lacks emotion and creativity. I know, J.K. didn't write the actual book, but I can't help being angry at all this. This is not the 8th Harry Potter book! There is no such thing as 8th Harry Potter book! 
 Since it's a theatre play, I had to focus a little bit extra on the characters, and I was kind of disappointed to realise that they're not exactly themselves. Ron, whom I loved in the HP series, doesn't look like Ron at all. He's barely there, actually, and he seems so bland and so not himself. Don't blab that he's a grown-up now and he got mature, I know Ron, and this certainly isn't him. Also, the most important question I have, WHERE IS GEORGE? I mean, he was supposed to run Weasley's Wizard Whizzes, not Ron. I so wanted to read about George again, to see how he's doing after losing his other half, but he wasn't there! He's not even mentioned. 
 I was expecting so much more from Albus's friendship with Scorpius! I wanted to see some development, some chemistry, some intrigue, and I got none of that! I believe there's so much more to a friendship between two persons whose fathers used to be arch enemies! Since Scorpius is Draco's son, I wanted some angst (how can you speak of Draco Malfoy without mentioning how angsty he is?). 
 Speaking of Draco, who's a beloved character of mine, I was actually happy with him in this novel. He got the redemption he deserved, but he kept his old habits of teasing The Golden Trio. I missed this, and, fortunately, I got some of it. I have believed in Draco all this time... 
 (view spoiler)[Delphi was not very predictable, but she's definitely not worthy of being a Harry Potter villain. Once again I found a plot hole and ruined everything: if Voldemort is not capable of love, then how on earth did he leave Bellatrix pregnant? Voldemort was hungry for power, he'd never wanted a heir, he wanted to live forever and rule the world. Then how was this Delphi actually born? Hmm...

 But I can't end this review without mentioning the biggest and most obvious mistake in the book: how did Albus and Scorpius manage to prepare Polyjuice Potion is a few minutes, when preparing it takes at least one month. You can't fool me, muggles, I've read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets...
