So I've done it. I've read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. After reading the play, I came to the conclusion that although I hate the idea of the series ending (seriously, I LOVE HARRY POTTER), I hate the idea of this book being categorized as part of the Harry Potter series even more. Why? Well, here are my reasons.

1. It isn't even a book. It's a play. Why is a play being advertised as the next book of this amazing and fabulous series???

2. The play was mainly written by JACK THORNE. This piece of work simply lacks the J.K. Rowling touch. Jack Thorne just didn't do it for me.

3. Harry Potter is not portrayed as the Harry we know and love.

The play is centered around Harry's son Albus whom he has been struggling to find a connection with. Throughout the play, Harry is depicted as a clueless father who at times doesn't think about how his actions affect those around him. For example, he tries to keep his son Albus away from his only friend at Hogwarts, Scorpius (side note, Scorpius is Malfoy's son but he's a totally harmless and sweet kid!) because he thinks Scorpius is casting a dark shadow over Albus. In the Cursed Child, Harry is even rude to Ginny! What is this????? Not cool Jack Thorne.

Potter fans, beware. The Cursed Child isn't all it's made out to be.
