The plot was a tad weak in comparison to the novels and there were some repetitive scenes, but overall Cursed Child delivered and then some. 
 You have to take or leave the script format, but I have to say it worked remarkably well with this story and the characters, especially when you get Rowling-esque stage directions like a line spoken "drier than dry." 
 The truly remarkable aspect of Cursed Child has to be the relationships and family themes. There's a cute schoolboy duo bonded together by daddy issues, some interesting revelations from the adult types, and some unexpected appearances. It was obvious this wasn't simply catered towards the fans as it isn't one giant epilogue but centered around a theme and a plot. We are introduced to a super lovable Slytherin - which is brilliant because for all of the speeches in the novels about how the houses must stand together, I could count the number of tolerable Slytherins on one finger - and we see another finally redeem himself. And we learn Harry's deepest, darkest secret. (Haha.) 
 We also get more of Rowling's humor through Ron's jibes, jokes about Voldemort's nose, and pointed references to her own characters' shortcomings. 
 All in all, I was so happy to be back among the Golden Trio, meet some of the new generation, and experience a new Harry Potter story... I may have shed a tear or two.
