Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One & Two (Harry Potter, #8)

It's not that it was that bad, but it was sooo unnecessary and full of convenient (and totally unbelievable) plot devices! The first 2 parts were ok, I liked Scorpius (Albus not so much), but the other 2 were just so messy and uninteresting.
Harry felt forced, I never liked Ron but this older version is worse, Hermione seemed another person and Draco (my fav character when I was younger) was just not Draco at all. Am I insane? Am I the only one who remembers these characters in a totally different way?
Lastly, I am a sci-fi geek and one thing that I really, REALLY, hate when time travel is involved is paradoxes (tho my favorite movie of all time is Back to the future, which, lets be honest, is full of them). Here paradoxes are EVERYWHERE and they made me so mad!!
The only thing that saved this book from a 1 star rating is the feelings that I got while reading it, but anything that has the word "Harry Potter" in it manages to do that, so this book is not special at all.
