“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”, the seventh and then-final book in the series, became the fastest-selling work ever after its publication in the summer of 2007. “I’m excited to get the book and look forward to taking lots of pictures that will remind me of this event”.

Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours on online message boards.
In real life, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them began as a book in 2001, who wrote it under the pseudonym of Newt Scamader. (Yes, this is my idea of fun at 22).
Before its release, Barnes & Noble said Cursed Child was the most pre-ordered book since Deathly Hallows. “I found it so climatically satisfying”. Not just because of the characters we lost, but because it was over. We’re not yet sure if the entirety of the original cast will be joining him, but we certainly hope that we’ll see Colin Farrell, Ezra Miller, and Katherine Waterston back once more, along with Redmayne of course!
Rowling, shy on social media at first, now rarely lets a day go by without tweeting.
The past is a constant presence throughout the story – how one carries the burdens of one’s past, how it shapes the present, and how to make peace with that which has already happened.
Her husband relished the opportunity to dress up and meet other fans.
“It allows fans to reconnect with some old friends and connect with some new”, she said.
Murphy isn’t reading the play and she’s avoiding spoilers on social media. Not only that, but the fans would not be experiencing the story at the same time. She can read into someone’s story; she can see people’s goals. So she’s quite an interesting character to play – very vivacious and lively, yet very centered and aware. The play was. um. not as I expected – and not in a good way.

“I like the diversity”, Kathleen Gust, explaining why she likes J.K. Rowling’s series. While nostalgia will undoubtedly draw many fans to read “The Cursed Child“, the writing is not up to par with previous installments in the series and will likely leave readers disappointed. Indeed, the descriptions of the staging make it seem like the play would be quite something to watch live, and by most early reviews, it is indeed an fantastic experience that combines the magic of the Potterverse with that of the more theatrical kind. But this was supposed to be a rare moment of joy in our insane world.
