#30: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by Rowling, Tiffany, and Thorne

This newest Harry Potter story is a must-read for any self-respecting Harry Potter fan.  It answers the question "What happens next?" (well...next as in next after 19 years have gone by) for the main characters and their new families.  The story focuses primarily on Albus, Harry's youngest boy, and it centers on his actions resulting from the pressure he feels because he is Harry's child and Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore's namesake.  This "story" is actually the rehearsal script for the play currently being produced and performed in London, so I found it to be a quicker read than any of the other seven books that were typically filled with lengthy descriptions and copious details.  I really enjoyed this glimpse into the life of my favorites: Ginny, Hermione, Ron, and Harry.  I just wish there were more--I'd read them all and I am sure that I am not alone!

I am also secretly hoping we can get tickets too see this play (done in two acts over two different nights) when we travel to London next summer.  I'd be overjoyed to see this!

If you like Harry, you MUST read this one!

Happy reading, everyone!
