Dumbledore: We cannot protect the young from harm. Pain must and will come. 
 Harry: So I'm supposed to stand and watch? 
 Dumbledore: No. You're supposed to teach him how to meet life. 
 For someone that has been a fan of the books for years this latest chapter, though told as a play, is a wonderful addition to the series. Without giving away any spoilers, this book, following the lives of Harry's middle son, Albus, and his friend Scorpius(Draco's son), is as much a coming of age story as it is a reflection on who we become as adults and parents. Its about bridging that divide between parents and their children by mutual understanding. Everything about this play is true to who these characters have been throughout the series and the cameos throughout are a heartfelt stir of nostalgia and exactly what a fan like myself needed. It was absolutely perfect.
