Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: A Punch To Your Childhood
A proud nerd, born and raised, inheriting her love of all things geek from her father. Comics lover, writer, artist, chainmailler, cosplayer, binge watcher, and baker of incredible chocolate chip cookies, not to brag or anything.
BONUS: Not the Trolley Witch!

I found myself hating the book more with every page-turn, but I must admit, the one minor thing that seemed the least necessary and most upsetting was turning the sweet trolley witch who's been kindly offering chocolate frogs and licorice wands from her cart since book one, into a giant spike monster. Finding out this old bat was born in 1830 and becomes armed with explosives and talons when a child tries to leave the Hogwarts express is horrifying.
Recently, J.K. Rowling said she was officially done writing about Harry and the gang.
UPDATE:Â
J.K. Rowling is about to release 3 new 'Harry Potter' books https://t.co/Eb8eLG6NJa

If I hadn't read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, I would be sad about this fact.
As it stands, I'm pleased with her decision and if I lacked a conscious about buying something, using it up and returning it, I would have brought this hot mess back to Barnes and Noble the morning after finishing it.

Sad
With its wacky plot, uncharacteristic characters, and insanely inaccurate time-line, it reads more as a poorly thought out fan-fiction than an actual part of the Harry Potter series. I'm just going to pretend the books ended at seven and ignore the fact that I ever read this disjointed train wreck.
