For years, we have sat on the edge of our seats as we dove into each book, consuming every word and getting entangled in the lives of Harry Potter and his friends. Potter has been in our lives through seven books, and J.K. Rowling has surprised readers with a new addition, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.”
This installment of the franchise is the first to take the form of a script instead of a traditional novel. It’s a change in tone from the original Harry Potter books, but it’s still the same world readers have come to know and love.
The story jumps forward 19 years to Potter’s children as they begin their journey at Hogwarts. The play consists of two parts and follows Potter’s attempt to correct past wrongdoings through his son, Severus.
If you are a die-hard Harry Potter fan, you will not be disappointed. Rowling pleased fans with this addition to her line of best sellers while still intriguing new readers with a book that is hard put down.
According to The Guardian, the book sold over 2 million copies in the first forty eight hours and and is the fastest selling book this decade.
