Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Review

As many geeks out there I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the newest adventure in the Harry Potter Universe. Yes its in play format which takes a little while to get used to. Even though there were plenty of articles and announcements that this book would not be written in the same way the rest of the books were written but people have still be shocked at the format.
Let's make this clear. This story is in PLAY FORMAT. It still gives you the story it just doesn't have the big descriptions and internal dialogue you'd get from the original books. Trying to imagine the story being done on stage makes me really wonder how they pulled some of it off.
The whole story revolves around Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy and their relationships with their fathers. Its hard to be a son to Harry Potter, especially when you aren't a perfect kid and wizard like your older brother. And its hard to be the son of a former Death Eater especially when your parentage is in question.
The children as usual are the stars of the story but it wouldn't be a Harry Potter story without the original crew who are a prominent part of the story.
I highly recommend this for anyone who loves this universe. It may take you a little to get used to the format but once you get through a few scenes it starts to draw you in just like every other book of the series.
