published description: The Eighth Story. Nineteen Years Later.
Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in London’s West End on July 30, 2016. It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places."

I don't read plays a lot so, had to get past the format...wasn't hard really, was kind of cool actually. In one way, I really enjoyed it - was totally cool seeing characters I truly love again. Also very cool seeing their kids. On the other hand, didn't necessarily like how things turned out - one example would be the kind of father Harry is, in the play. So, I guess, definitely worth the read but, in some ways I think I'll just keep thinking of them how I already had them in my head instead of how they were written here.
