I'm not sure yet what to make of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child... Sure I enjoyed it but it doesn't compare well versus the novels. First off Harry Potter takes a back seat for most of the story... and it turns out that he's a relatively boring adult. A bit of a let down. The story is okay but seems to be in service of finding ways to use characters that have already died (Snape, Cedric Diggory, Voldemort) instead of creating new ones. Just too much of it depends on revisiting scenes from the books. I'll say it gets a B.
