Hey peeps!
I'm back from my holidays in Orlando Florida and survived my first few days of my new school!
I read a lot of books during my summer and one of them was the eight Harry Potter book. So, enjoy my review!
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. (source: goodreads)
Tbh I'm a bit disappointed. I had such high expectations for this book but in comparison with the first seven HP books, this one was just boring.
The story started pretty good. It was interesting to read a book as a script, but it already began in the Hogwarts Express scene, that I started liking the book less. Why was Rose such a bitch? Like, Hermione as her mother wouldn't raise (or allow) her to be one. And throughout the whole book I didn't get why Albus disliked his father so much. Harry didn't do anything wrong in the beginning and Albus was still mad at him. At least Scorpius was pretty nice. But why were there no other characters introduced than Rose, Albus and Scorpius?! Like in the original HP books you had of course the golden trio but you also had Neville, Luna, Malfoy, that kid that blowed everything up and, and, and. But here, nothing.
The "adventure" Harry and Scorpius later had was pretty unsensational. Like, it was okay but I wasn't really at the edge of my nerves or anything like that. My heart rate must have stayed the same.
What I really liked about the whole story was, that Albus and Scorpius are kinda gay with each other which I love. I love my gay otp's (Malec, Destiel I'm looking at you here).
So all in all I think you can read the book just bc it's an "Harry Potter" book but it's not necessary. It wasn't really worth it.Love,
