BOOK REVIEW: THE CURSED CHILD

Albus Severus Potter's worst fear comes true when he was sorted into Slytherin. A Potter in Slytherin becomes the talk of the school and his inability to fulfill the expectations mounted on him takes a toll on his relationship with his family, especially his Father. Albus has only one real friend, Scorpius Malfoy, who was avoided by everyone because of some rumors. They decided to help Harry but that ends in trouble, changing everyone's life. What did they do and How that affected their lives is the story. I started reading this book right after rereading the entire Harry Potter series but I had my expectations low because of what I heard from my friends. So, I was not much disappointed. Still, it tested my patience, especially in the beginning. Maybe I was expecting the Harry Potter series vibe but It doesn't have it. There were the times I wanted to stop reading this, but I continued reading this. Then I forgot about Hp midway through the book and it became more bearable. So, nearing the end I liked the book. One of the things I didn't like about the book is the characters, except for Scorpius. He became my favorite. I found some of them were unnecessarily mean and not very lively. Albus's character could've written well. The things I missed the most are some magic and the enchanted lands of the Harry Potter series. Also, the originality of the characters from the previous books, most importantly Ron. Overall, I liked this book, but not a sequel to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows(at least for me)
