I'd love to see this story play out on stage. I completely get why many HP fans will be disappointed with this, but I have to admit: I really enjoyed it. It does not feel like an eighth Harry Potter book at all there's a real disconnect between this play and the other seven novels.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted.
