The Eight Story,
Nineteen Years Later...
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.
I think i can say for everyone who grew up with Harry Potter, we all have waited for something like this. But unfortunately it felt like reading a fanfiction. The story was great, but since i've always liked to pretend the Epilogue of Deathly Hallows didn't happen, i'll probably do the same with this one. I don't want to spoil anyone, but the storyline was at some point like – you can't destroy everything in this world JKR created.
And i'm sad we didn't get the actual story JKR wrote. This is only the play Jack Thorne and John Tiffany based on a story she wrote. Well, i would've liked to read her story instead. Maybe it wouldn't have felt so much like a fanfiction then. But still, i can't rate this book other than 5 stars.
