Unexpected and unpopular bookopinion below XD

I had very low expectations of this script, because I heard so many people expecting to love it but ended up not loving it as much.

I reread the entire Harry Potter series last year with my friend Rowie, which has been an amazing experience. I'd only read the books when they came out, so rereading was a big party of familiar people and unexpected things to happen, because I forgot about so many details.

It was also a wake-up call, about how we can romanticize books in our head. Yes, they are really good and fun to read, yes I gave them all 5*, but they are not perfect. And I did not liked Harry that much. And I noticed there are very very few descriptions of Hogwarts after the first book. And so on, I have more things that I could comment on in those books, now that I'd reread them with a fresh pair of eyes.

I read this book because I thought why not, it will be a fun way to end the reread with my friend, and I wanted to have my own opinion of this book.

And I'm so glad I did.

I love this.

It gave me all the right feels, all the same feels as the book. I didn't wanted it to end, but because you read it so fast because of the script format, it ended SO SOON. I was sad about that.

I got used to the script format really fast. I did not miss the descriptions, because of 3 reasons.
1) I noticed in the books that there are not many descriptions of places, so yeah.
2) There were little descriptions of the stage.
3) It took place in familiar places like the train and on Hogwarts, which I can perfectly imagine when you tell me it takes place there.

I LOVED the characters. I loved how everyone turned out. I love how much Albus resembles his father. I would not have said this if I hadn't recently read the 7 original books, in which I found Harry obnoxious and a lot of other not-positive things :)

I also love the time travel in this. It does not all takes place 19 years later, and I love how we revisit some of the big stuff in flashbacks as well. I also like the story line and the butterfly effect, and how some things became more clearly because of this. I felt closure at the ending and I like that.

Yes, there is a lot not perfect with this. But that is also the case with the original 7 books. For me, this was a very pleasant surprise and I highly enjoyed this. This can be different for you, of course. I highly recommend to read this after you've recently (re)read the entire series, so that you don't have a romanticized idea of those books in your head. 

And please don't judge or shoot me and just let me sit in a corner and love this, ok? Thanks.
