I didn't finish this book. I just couldn't. I think Scorpious and Albus' friendship was great but everything else felt weird. It wasn't Harry Potter's world. I'm fairly certain this was not written by J.K. Rowling. 
 Harry Potter being a that of a bad father? Really? To the point of telling his son that he wishes he wasn't who he is, like he wishes he had a different son entirely? Harry would never say that to him. Only the worst of parents would, really. And the explanation for that is that Harry lost his temper; that he wasn't thinking. Don't make excuses for poor characterization. 
 I'm so disappointed on whoever wrote this, because it's just bad fan fiction. I will forever treasure this world but not this particular book. Some stories are better left as they were. 
 I don't think I can stomach finishing this story, so I won't continue reading it.
