What a crazy, exhilarating ride this book was. Not to mention a great mixture of emotions.
Filled with action from start to finish, Cursed Child welcomed new characters, and allowed us to fall in love all over again with the ones we know so well already.
Surprisingly, the character that I took to the most in the script was Scorpius. I loved that kid. I also loved seeing the development of Draco, and sadly how his life has played out. I’ve always had a soft spot for him, and this story both made, and broke my heart in regards to him.
One of the things that irked me about this story, and quite frankly made me sad, was the relationship between Harry and Albus. I guess it’s just not what I expected their father-son relationship to be like.
Also, I have never really, truly gotten used to the idea of Harry and Ginny. I have no idea why, but their relationship has never quite gelled with me, and that didn’t change by reading this.
What I did love, however, was Ron and Hermione! Oh how those two make my heart swell. It was so great to see how their love, and banter, has carried on throughout the years.
My favourite aspect of this book/play, was the scenes when they went back in time and we got to see some of the characters we wouldn’t get to see in present time.
I just loved seeing Snape, and the different side of him, especially his reaction to finding out Harry’s sons middle name Albus Severus. Such a sweet moment.
I also really loved the whole ending/Godrics Hollow scene, as well as all the Voldemort elements woven throughout the story.
Oo, oo, and the Dumbledore scene between him and Harry. Oh my emotions. My heart. Too much…
Although I felt this lacked in a solid plot line, meaning I found the plot to be quite… hmm, plain I guess. Just, that the whole reasoning for going back in timed seemed very pointless to me. But, all-in-all I enjoyed it anyway!
