my daughter is asking me to get this today, news blurb this morning said it's written as a script? Anyone willing to admit to being a JK Rowlings fan reading this? I'm lazy and haven't checked amazon reviews yet just sounded odd if they are releasing it in script form.

It's a stage play first adapted to a script in book form. JK Rowling did not write it. She did however contribute.

Edit... Snape kills Dumbledore...

I thought Harry Potter was a good read. Bit darker than the movies even. However, other than those core books I know nothing. But yeah, what Drakin said above. Also it's the last of the Harry Potter line of stories, so you'd be a good dad by getting your daughter the book. Just make sure to tell her it's written in a play form.

Also Harry is a Horcrux.

I went ahead and bought it for her thanks for the replies. What's funny is I have an Internet generation daughter who insists on reading books as hard copy and not digital. Feel like a cave man getting the physical book.

My wife read/is reading it, she's a big HP fan (like so many women...) and she's enjoying it.

It's pretty bad. Like, would be bad even if it was fan fiction written by a twelve year old bad. Like, plot revolves around time travel bad. Like, Draco Malfoy is the nicest person in it bad. Bad bad bad.

My wife has the day off today and just had the book dropped off at our door. I'll try to remember to come back and post her thoughts after she inevitably finishes it today or tomorrow.

Seems like it starts off at the train station right where the original story ended. Albus is getting ready to go to Hogwarts.

Does Hermione give a "Mmhmmm.. nah, oh no he didn't." line in the new book?

I also thought HP was a fun read. Quite interested in reviews of this newest (last) installment.

Read it yesterday. Part 1 is really strong, excellent continuation of the story. Part 2 goes a bit nuts but is still enjoyable, sort of a greatest hits of the books.

TLDR: Albus Potter instantly makes friends with Scorpious Malfoy who is a super nice nerd but everyone hates him because Malfoys. Chooses him/slytherin over his siblings/cousin at hogwarts because Albus isn't a preduduced asshole, this strains his relationship with his family and they are both bullied outcasts.

A few years later they escape from hogwarts, stealing an uber time turner to save Ceddric Diggory because Voldemort/Bellatrix daughter is manipulating them. Their attempts revolve around changing the Triwizard Tournament in book 4 which changes the present a few times including facist Voldemort future and people not existing anymore.

They all learn some major life lessons and fix time and happy ending. Except another random kid dies like Ceddric did lol!!

It's funny because Scorpious Malfoy fancies now mixed race half muggleborn half blood traitor Hermione's daughter. It's the ultimate fuck you to the white pure blood family!

Albus had a brief notgay moment with Delphi (and Scorpius with Rose) but I wouldn't be surprised if Albus started fucking Scorpious, I feel like their gayness is mildly forshadowed?
