It's a dejavu moment for all those Potterheads, when we laid our hands on the recent flick "Harry Potter and the cursed child".
There are certain books which you would like, some you would endorse, but one or very few which would make you feel that every person in this world OUGHT TO READ IT. For me that is The Harry Potter series!
Filled with excitement, hope and a tinge of skepticism (for I can't bring myself to believe that anyone, even J.K Rowling herself can produce something better than HP series), I set upon the magical journey once again! :D
Before I begin to describe the book itself, it's important for me to include a preface : Knowing the magic created by The Harry Potter series, it is an enormous task to take upon oneself to produce a literary piece that has to live up to readers' expectations. I salute the three maestros , J.K Rowling, Jack Thorne & John Tiffany! _/\_
My special and sincere thanks to the trio, first for attempting it and more importantly for keeping up at it brilliantly!!
Without further ado, I present my humble thoughts on the brilliant play, "Harry Potter and the cursed child"!
Exceeded expectations!!
Yeah those are the first two words you need to hear about this book!!
Because the expectations from Potterheads are quite, how do I put it, towering!
The long of it is, the book is very much alike and very much different from the original series, at the same time. The characters remain unscathed ; times have changed ; there are the same places that seem quite different : The magic is all real, because every part of the magic touches our hearts in a real way!
The values, that are the foundation of the original series : Love, Friendship & Courage are all revived in this. The profound message, "It's our choices that show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities" - the very essence of the series has been retained in the best spirits. To which am sure, all Potterheads are extremely grateful!
With references that takes us back to the good old days, the play is a reminder of why we all love Harry and his friends so much!! (With immense pain, am deliberately not mentioning any character references, coz to mention a few, would be unfair to all others..)
But that is not all! There is more to it, than that meets your eyes, the first time! Despite being burdened by the attachments to the past, the play has retained its uniqueness in the literary world and within the hearts of the readers.
It is a book of possibilities! Most of our what-ifs from the original series have been answered, and it's not as predictable as it would seem.
In brief :
For Muggles : It's a page turner.
For the Witches and Wizards out there : It's a time turner.
Enough said.
