Chatting Books Online Year 2 , Day 40 .
Today’s recommended book is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child , parts 1 & 2 by J K Rowling .
When this first came out back in 2017 I did not know how feel about it . I love the Harry Potter series but after 7 books it was done , and I sort of feel leave well enough alone - for wizards sake don’t go on too long and jump the proverbial shark (or dragon in a wizarding world) . And because Ms. Rowling had stated there would be no more books in the series it was actually the script from a play she wrote for the London stage and I did not know how the feel of the series would translate if you were reading it as a play . But then I read it because , let’s face it , I had to ... and I was right back in the wizarding world as if I had never left it SBA I was catching up with friends I had not seen in years !
In this play the story takes place 19 years after book 7 closes. Harry is married , has 3 children and works at the Ministry of Magic . I will tell you Ron and Hermione are in the book as well but I won’t tell you anymore than that - you will need to dive into the Potterverse and read it for yourself !
We currently carry this book version of the play in paperback , it is 336 pages and sells for $12.99 a copy . Oh and it is Accelerated Reader level 3.9 and worth 6.0 points for those interested in such things !
