About twelve hours ago, I was coming home from the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Midnight Release Party, and now I've just closed the book after finishing it. I feel giddy, satisfied, but also desperate for more! 
 I absolutely loved HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD. It was definitely different to read a Harry Potter story as a play versus a novel, and I think the only thing that would've made me love it more was if it had been written in J. K. Rowling's fantastic writing style (nothing tops J.K.!), but I still loved it. The story was interesting, full of twists, and I loved getting to see some of my favourite characters again. Seeing them all grown up was fascinating and getting to know their children was something that I didn't know I needed until now. I also really just loved seeing the growth of the older characters, and how the dynamics between them all changed. 
 If you're a Harry Potter fan, I think you definitely NEED to read this! I think that even Potterheads that aren't typically fans of reading plays will love getting pulled back into the world of Harry Potter all over again! I'm also pretty sure that we're all either going to be inspired to reread the series, listen to the audiobooks, watch the movies, read ALL the fanfiction after this...or desperately try to get to London to see the play performed live after this! It's a good time to be a Harry Potter fan--nine years after HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS came out and our fandom is still going strong. ;)
