The Cursed Child
By John Tiffany and Jack Thorne
The son of Harry Potter is not what everyone was expecting. Albus Potter is living in the shadow of his famous father and his siblings who are “normal” Potters. It all starts Albus’s first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. On the Hogwarts express, Albus meets who will be his best friend, Scorpius. Scorpius is the son of Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter’s rival when he was younger. However there is a suspicion around Scorpius which a lot of the book is based on. Scorpius may be the son of Lord Voldemort, the most evil wizard of all time and the antagonist of all the Harry Potter books. So the boys make it to Hogwarts, and to everyone’s surprise, Albus Potter is put in the house of Slytherin along with Scorpius. Albus's father was a great Gryffindor. As Albus starts to become more and more unlike his father, he starts to hate him more and more as well. So he decides to fix one of his father’s biggest mistakes. Albus decides to go back in time, using a time turner he stole from the Ministry of Magic, to save Cedric Diggory. After saving Cedric, who was killed by Voldemort, Albus is going to bring him back to Cedric's father Amos. But Albus does not embark on this journey alone. He goes with Scorpius and Amos’s niece Delphi, who Albus starts to develop feelings for. What will happen when Voldemort encounters Harry’s son? Is Scorpius really Voldemort’s son? Will Harry end up having to step in to save the Wizarding World once again, or will Albus be able to handle this one all own his own? Read The Cursed Child, a fantasy and adventure fiction book by John Tiffany and Jack Thorne to find out.
If you like suspense, fantasy, and especially if you liked the original Harry Potter series, then The Cursed Child is the book for you. For me it was so cool to see how Harry, Ron, and Hermione are as adults. If you read the Harry Potter series you just have to read this sequel! It brings you in, it's intense, and the relationship between Harry and Albus is very intriguing. Scorpius's character is a really complicated one, which makes the book very interesting. The unique character descriptions make you wonder throughout the book if he really is the son of Voldemort. Another thing that makes this such a great book, which is the same for the original series, is the friendship it displays. Albus is going through a lot, and so is Scorpius. They help each other out and get up to great mischief and fun. It also expresses an idea of a cool world with magic, dragons, and an amazing school for witches and wizards. At first I thought this book was going to be a huge downgrade from the original series by J.K. Rowling, but it proved me wrong. If you like fantasy, adventure, excitement, and suspense, this book is definitely for you. It will grow your imagination, make you nervous in a good way, and it even shows some troubles that a kid in our world can go through, whether it be being bullied, having trouble making friends, or struggling to be the person you truly want to be. When I pick up this book I am disappointed when I have to put it down, which is why I recommend it to you.
