Harry Potter e la Maledizione dell’Erede

3 1/2 stars. I completely get why many HP fans will be disappointed with this, but I have to admit: I really enjoyed it . I'd love to see this story play out on stage. So yeah, I understand the sad feelings. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has a completely different vibe. Aside from being a play, it Leggi tutto

It was alright. It was just alright. I know I gave this 4 stars, but to be honest, J.K.

The stage actor’s performances would carry the emotion and drama the dialogue completely failed to convey. The stage directions were also minimalistic. I mean Leggi tutto

Let's be honest - this read like badly written fan fiction

nope

After years of wishing and waiting........AT LAST! My precious!! *said in Gollum voice* UPDATED after reading: NO NO NO NO. Terrible writing I can let slide (it's a play so I would expect the acting to salvage that) but the plot was pointless, the characters were, well, out of character, and it felt H Leggi tutto

This review contains *mild spoilers* . I've waited for this particular story for what feels like ages, and words cannot even describe for how grateful I am that it finally exists in my hands.
