I wasn't blown away by this at all. Granted, the script wasn't terrible and I did not experience it in its intended medium, but the accusations that this reads as glorified fanfiction are exactly true. It's not true to the characters or plot of Harry Potter. The plot is full of holes and instances that simply left me shaking my head. That said, Scorpius Malfoy was a gem of a character and this play does have a few poignant moments, although not nearly as strong as ones within the original series. I'll not be putting this on my library shelf with my other beloved Harry Potter books, because, in my opinion, it doesn't belong there. It's not Rowling to me and it's not Harry Potter as we've all come to know and love it.
