365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #172: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Like many Harry Potter fans, I'm very interested in reading this. I want to see how Harry, Ron and Hermione have grown and what has happened in their lives. Even though it's been a while since I've read the Harry Potter books, they are still some of my favorite stories. I'm hoping The Cursed Child will be too.

Book: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts I and II (Special Rehearsal Edition): The Official Script Book (Harry Potter book #8) by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany

Publication: July 31, 2016

Description:

The Eighth Story. Nineteen Years Later.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in London’s West End on 30th July 2016.

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
