Rowling came out about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, I could not wait to get my hands on it. This book is a little different than the other Harry Potter books. It is written in a play format and not completely by J.K. Rowling. Nevertheless, I have fully enjoyed every minute of reading the story of Albus Potter, Harry’s youngest son, through his struggles of
