I'll admit I was a little apprehensive and I went into this with very low expectations. However, I was very pleasantly surprised! Despite the fact that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is written in script-form, it was very easy to read and I flew through it. It has the same feeling to it as the original books, thankfully, and I felt like it fits in with the series perfectly. 
 It can't be easy, being Harry Potter's son, and Albus Severus Potter certainly doesn't think it is. Everyone expects things from him, but he feels like his father isn't nearly as wonderful as people seem to think he is. He ends up in Slytherin house and soon befriends Scorpius Malfoy, causing all new kinds of trouble, because Scorpius is rumoured to not actually be Draco's son, but Voldermort's. 
 Albus's problems with Harry eventually lead him to do something rash and the original Harry Potter crew, as well as their children, have to work hard to put things back together again before it is too late. 
 It's amazing how well characters can be worked out through a script, when you can't read about any of their thoughts and feelings, but they have to be expressed in some other way. J.K. Rowling's voice is clearly noticeable in the story-telling and the new characters, as well as the old ones, are multi-faceted, interesting, and realistic. I personally think this a worthy sequel to the Harry Potter series and I am glad I decided to pick up this book despite my initial doubts.
