Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Nine Years of Waiting

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Millersville chapter.

After nine years, Harry Potter fans all around the world are excited to hear about the amazing news. Many prayed, wished, and even begged J.K. Rowling for another book after the publication of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” and she is finally giving us what we crave — a new book!

As many of you already know, this book is actually the script book for a stage play.

This new book is called “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” and is set 19 years after the defeat of Voldemort (remember, fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself). Many say that the past is in the past, but for Harry (and his bad luck) he realizes that this, in fact, is not true. In this new book, Harry struggles with this realization and his son, Albus Severus Potter, struggles with dealing with the family legacy. You can’t really blame the boy though, it would be hard trying to live up to the legacy of the great Chosen One.

Personally, I cannot wait for the new installmant of the brilliant Harry Potter series. What about you? Are you ready for another adventure in the wizarding world?

Luckily we don’t have much longer to wait for this book to be published. The release date is July 31st 2016! You can even pre-order the book at Barnes and Noble for only $17.99!
