Harry Potter and the Cursed Child<\/em> was one of the most anticipated books of this year. I was one of the idiots who thought that now that I am grown up I would not be too excited about the latest from J. K. Rowling. I didn\u2019t pre order it. But on the release day I went crazy seeing all my friends reading and talking about it. So I ordered the book on the release day. And read it on a morning before even having breakfast.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It has been a pretty long time since The Curse Child<\/em> was released. So I guess it is safe to post a review. Also, since almost everyone knows what the book is about, no synopsis.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So what did I feel like after I read the book? Happy. Very happy. And relieved\u00a0to read\u00a0more news of the Harry Potter world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To all the fans who hated The Curse child, Rowling made it clear that this is not a novel, but a manuscript for a play. Which means there will be no world building, emotional tugs etc. Things will zoom past. And everything has to happen in front on a live audience on a stage. Also, it is NOT WRITTEN by ROWLING. The book is based on a story by Rowling, that\u2019s all. There! You were warned.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. About the story <\/p>\n 2. About the characters <\/p>\nNon-Spoilery thoughts<\/h3>\n
To those who hated the book\u2026<\/h3>\n
\nI loved the twists in the story. I mean it was really exciting to be reading about the Harry Potter world after 19 years. I loved seeing the much loved Harry Potter characters as adults with jobs. It made me feel old as well.<\/p>\n
\nUnlike many of the reviews I found Harry, Hermione and Ron to be believable characters in their adulthood. Harry, yes! With such a burden of fame and witnessing of deaths as a boy, I would imagine him to be an insecure adult. I especially liked the character sketch of Draco, he was exactly as I imagined him to be.<\/p>\n
