I LOVED this book. Script? Book? Whatever you want to call it, I loved it. For those complaining it's "just a script", clearly must have been living on a rock or they just heard the word's "New Harry Potter" and went crazy and ignored everything else about it. Also: there's nothing wrong with the fact that this is just a script because it's AMAZING. Would I have liked a proper book? Of course. Being part of J.K Rowling's Hogwarts world is amazing, but this is equally amazing, and it's so interesting how you can still get so much emotion across, when it is just a script. To see it in person must be even better, and I really wish I was one of the lucky people who could go and see this live at the theatre, but maybe they'll film it, so I can see it one day.

It complements the books really well, and Scorpius and Albus were brilliant. To see another generation of Hogwarts was just amazing, and I know I keep using the word amazing, but that just sums it up for me. I would be over the moon if J.K. actually went back on her word, that this wasn't the last one, and she was going to do a spin-off involving Scorpius and Albus, because it just seemed like a natural progression. But if that's all we're getting? Well it was pretty bloody good. To be back with Ron, Hermione, Harry, Ginny, Professor McGonogall, it was like I'd never left that world. There were twists and turns and surprised galore, and there was nothing I didn't like.

It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, and I think J.K., John & Jack have done a fantastic job. Absolutely fantastic because this was truly, truly amazing.
