Example book review (Harry Potter and The Cursed Child)

"Harry Potter and The Cursed Child", written by J.K. Rowling with the help of two other authors, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany is, undoubtedly, a must-have for many fans of the saga. Set twenty years after the ending of the last of seven books, "The Cursed Child" reveals the story of Harry's youngest son, Albus Severus, and another student, Scorpius Malfoy, as they become best friends, despite the odds between their families.
Unlike the first seven volumes, the story of Albus is written in a form of a stage play, which not only lets the reader explore a less known genre of a written text, but also gives them an insight into Rowling's skills, as she has never written or co-written a play before.
However, the author's popularity and abilities are not the only merits of the book. Thanks to the simplistic, yet not infantile style, readers will most likely get fascinated with the story after the first few pages, learning about Albus' relationship with his famous father. What is more, the father-son bond is not as strong as one would expect; it reminded me how even a seemingly perfect family can have unpleasant - and thoroughly hidden - secrets.
In later chapters, the plot centers on Albus and Scorpius' decision to steal the last magical time turner in order to come back to the past and save the life of Cedric Diggory, whose death was one of the main causes of Harry's depression. Sadly, playing with time turns out to be hazardous and leads to plethora of unexpected events which might change the future forever. The importance of a detail is another thing I learnt from "The Cursed Child" that I believe I will never forget -
even the smallest
decision has its consequences, often disproportionately severe.
If you are looking for a book that is both easy to read and certain to make you think deeply of the other side of - apparently - obvious circumstances, "Harry Potter and The Cursed Child" is a perfect choice. It is surely an interesting and highly anticipated read for the fans of J.K. Rowling's world of wizards, but also a thought-provoking story for those that are not necessarily familiar with the saga.
