Title: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Author: J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, John Tiffany
Text type: Play
Date finished: 31st February 2017
This play was the 8th story of Harry Potter. 17 years later. His son Albus, And Draco Malfoy's son Scorpius, travel back in time to rescue the spare, Cedrick Digorry. Except they only have 5 minutes to try and change everything. And every time they fail. They both, Albus and Scorpius, have seen many different worlds, by themselves or together.
I enjoyed this story as I like the Harry Potter series. But I don't like how they did it. It would have been better if it wasn't a play and it was just a normal novel like the rest. I reckon they could've distracted Hermione a lot better than what Ron (Albus) did. For example, when Ron (Albus) had to distract Hermione from going into her office as Harry (Scorpius) and Hermione (Delphi) were trying to find the time turner in Hermione's office, Ron (Albus) tried to use things Ron would say to Hermione in real life to make sure Hermione wouldn't go into her office. If they played that a lot better by letting Hermione into her office and catching Harry (Scorpius) And Hermione (Delphi) then there would be a lot more action as Hermione would be shocked to see what has happened.
I could relate to Albus Potter because he argued with his dad a lot over nothing. For example, one night before they were going back to Hogwarts, Harry came in to give Albus his blanket from when he was a baby. Harry told Albus that the blanket would give him good luck. But then Albus didn't want the blanket and they ended up arguing. I reckon that most teenagers growing up would argue a lot with their parents, because they think they rule everyone and they can't do bad. I guess it's just what teenagers are like. I argue with my dad a lot, even when we don't mean to. I'd say something nice and dad takes it the wrong way and we end up arguing.
