Harry is pointed at by critics as the one who had the worst transition from Deathly Hallows to Cursed Child, and his character in this book remains overall unlikable, and unrecognisable from what we know of Harry as a person. It's easily the best thing in the story.Īs for the recurring characters, we can single out Harry, Draco, Ginny, Ron and Hermione as the ones given enough time to be more fleshed out as adults, however, given the size of the book, the focus is kept more on first Harry, and secondly, Draco. Curiously, I found Albus to be more humorous than his father, at least with Scorpius, and it's all too clear why they're best friends. Nevertheless, each character, on its own is interesting and compelling, they are not without their own sense of humor, which brings us very funny moments at times. It doesn't ruin the friendship, but it just feels unambitious and contradictory to what has been the story so far. You would think with that many hints and with J.K.'s explicit views on this matter, the next step would be to actually go the distance and present a homosexual lead to a Harry Potter story. The book, however, pulls the rug out from under the readers by having the final scene between them be about their aspirations concerning girls, followed by what is described by the characters themselves as an awkward hug. I say almost because of the one thing I have to bring up: the excess of 'awkward' moments, for lack of a better word, between them hinted at a very possible romantic relationship, which was not transparent to most readers, myself included. Their relationship carries the whole story, and it works almost perfectly. Never in the description of Slytherin house is stated that Slytherins are or have to be in any way, rude or cruel, and Cursed Child stays true to that by showing two cunning, not that ambitious, true, but resourceful examples of Slytherin leads in Albus and Scorpius.

The main positive thing this book achieves as far as characters, and to be fair, on a whole, are the characters of Albus and Scorpius. However, this is also where I think the book has its biggest strengths, so I'll be sure to cover them as well. This will be the biggest topic I will cover, mainly because I think a lot of the problems with the story, come from problems handling the characters, and I couldn't mention one without the other, so I'll cover them all here. But again, this is something that might work better in the play, so I have little grounds to judge it on, even if it definitely felt odd and distracting in the book. The progressive strain of Harry and Albus' relation is nice to see from year to year, but it comes at the expense of having major time shifts suddenly happen, with no time to let them sink in, especially when the general audience thinks of a year at Hogwarts as a whole book, not simply, three pages. To be honest, if the story had jumped from year one directly to year four, it might have worked better.

It also boils down to the decision to have a story that spans four years, plus travels in time, being depicted as a play, which might not have been the best. The erratic, abrupt, sudden movements forward and back in time are things that feel too sporadic in the book, but might not feel as such in the play.
