The Eighth Story: nineteen years later
At the end of July, Harry Potter fans rose from the background as J.K Rowling released the next installment of the series. Bookstores opened at midnight. People threw themed parties. Everyone was just generally super excited. Yet, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is not as it seems. Rather than being a novel, it is the printed script of the West End plays. Over the past few weeks, the new story has had a mixture of reviews and opinions. So let’s take a trip through the story and how it has made everyone feel.
The Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play opens exactly where the epilogue of Deathly Hallows left off. Harry’s second child, Albus, is starting his first year at Hogwarts along with Ron and Hermione’s daughter, Rose. As they board the Hogwarts Express, the scene mirrors Harry and Ron’s first meeting as Albus meets Draco’s son, Scorpius, and they hit it off as friends — much to Rose’s anger. To everyone’s surprise, the sorting hat puts Albus into Slytherin. Over the next three years, he becomes unpopular and inactive with only Scorpius as his friend. His relationship with Harry becomes strained, and he no longer speaks to Rose.
Reading the first few scenes of the play gives you that great nostalgic feeling. We’re seeing the characters we love and that we grew up with for the first time in years, and it’s just brilliant because we’ve missed them so much! However, the story is already taking a dark turn. Albus’s mood and relationship with Harry is a bit depressing. Although it is not uncommon for a Harry Potter story, it’s a weird way to start it. It seems that everyone thought it would start with fun at Hogwarts with Quidditch games and whatnot.
