"The Eighth Story. Nineteen Years Later.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in London’s West End on July 30, 2016.

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."

This book, is LIT!Don't read this, THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS! To start off Albus or Al by the name of Albus Severus Potter, a middle of the three potter with there parents, Ginny Weasley, a Weasley who was the youngest in the day's! But there dad was a special dad, he was known for the name of Harry Potter, with his three children, James Potter JR. (The oldest child), Albus Severus Potter, and Lily Potter JR.! At the day when both James, and Al(I am supposed to call him Albus but really I don't care what I call him unless if it's Albus or Al) get on the train for Hogwart's, but not just that but, Albus starts his 1st year. But the thing is that not just that Harry and his friends have changed now they all work for the ministry, but Hermione, the smart one they called back then, is the Minister For Magic, now is what called! Of course Hermione and Ron, they got married with 2 children, Rose and Hugo! Rose also start her 1st year there. So, on the train to Hogwart's guess who they meet, Draco's SON, Scorpius Malfoy, but could he be Voldermort's son as rumors called. Albus decides to sit with him, and became friends while Rose actually made a good decision and sat in a cart with others as she left with James. Poor Lily, that she doesn't go yet! But the big news, ALBUS IS IN SLYTHERIN(I would be in Slytherin)! But lets completely fast forward,in the 2nd year there were troubles, to the 3rd year when James(the older sibling in Griffindor) get his luck, and his and Al's sis, Lily is in Griffindor! Well, 4th year comes later, although Potter hates Hogwart's he left with his friend Scorpius and went to Amos Diggory, Cedric(deceased) dad's community home, Flagley with Delphi, who is lying as she is the actual Voldermort's daughter! Draco and Harry are worried about that as them and Hermione, Ron and Professor Mcongall, they travel in time, and each time something wrong, Rose is gone, but how? To travel back they have to use a time turner, in which Hermione had one in the early days! When it came one time in which was the time Voldemort ruled(I would live there, I AM EVIL😈) it was evil and It was all about killing mudbloods! In the finial time in Godric's Hallow Delphi completely ditched them! They wrote on a blanket that Harry had, and as they traveled Harry traveled to the day his parent's were going to die, when Harry was one then! Albus learned about the love, and when they returned to there present home as Harry back to Harry(He transfigured to Volermort) and getting Delphi bad! Rose came back, and maybe Scorpius likes her! Sorry FOR SPOILERS! But the story is good! BAI GUYS! -BoomClap

It wasn't by J. K. Rowling, it was by two hired writers - Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, I believe. It's a little misleading because J. K. Rowling's name is so big on the cover, but if you look next to her name, it says "Based on a story by.." don't know if you know that already, but.. yeah, not by J. K. Rowling.

It depends on what you thought of it.. Even though I personally don't really like it (SCORBUS FOREVER.. sorry) but I'm sure it made some Potterheads (including you) very happy, and I'm glad :)

True, but I mean, you're talking about Potterheads - they're part of one of the most loyal and dedicated fandom on EARTH. They had like Cursed Child parties that would have cost way more than twenty-seven dollars haha :)
