I hate to be all, “I loved Harry Potter before it was popular,” but, actually my family did get an early start on the most famous series of our lifetime.
In 1998, my mom was on the hunt for something new to read for our mini book club, and found a recommendation on Amazon for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
The reviews were excellent and she ordered a couple of copies and distributed them to the various families involved in our little book club.
My mom has read aloud to us all our lives, and so she began reading this to us and within a chapter, we were all completely hooked.
We immediately dove right into Chamber of Secrets and then pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when it came out in the fall of 1999, which is when Harry Potter really started picking up major steam (after we’d read the first one the year before, my mom ordered copies to give close friends and family for Christmas, but by December of 1999, it was so popular everyone already owned it. I have no idea what she did with the dozen or so hardback copies she purchased).
We went to our first ever midnight release for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in the summer of 2000 at Borders (RIP) and it was fairly tiny, with probably less than 100 people there, no games or fanfare, just books available at midnight, and we made my mom read us the first chapter at 1 a.m. before we all collapsed into bed.
Anyway, I’ve read every Harry Potter book multiple times, I’ve seen all the movies (usually at a midnight showing on opening day), and I just thoroughly love all things Hogwarts and Harry Potter.
There was no question I’d read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child when it came out, and I put myself on the library hold list a few weeks early, snagging the #3 spot on Overdrive.
And so, the day after the book was released, my Kindle copy showed up and I read it that same day.
The first thing to know is that this is not a novel – it is a play script.
So that totally immersive experience I get with the Harry Potter novels, where you can practically taste the butterbeer and hear the crackling fire in the Gryffindor common room, is just not really there.
I went into the book not knowing a THING about the storyline, so if you want the same experience, skip the next three paragraphs (although I’ll avoid any spoilers).
harry potter and the cursed child summary
The story opens 19 years after the last Harry Potter ended (with the Battle of Hogwarts, where Voldemort is defeated). Harry Potter’s second son, Albus Severus, is off to his first year at Hogwarts, and he’s darn nervous about it, especially since his older brother, James, keeps teasing him that he’ll end up in Slytherin. Harry tries to reassure his son, but their relationship is stilted, to say the least.
Albus DOES end up in Syltherin, and his Hogwarts experience is pretty dismal, and several years pass as he and Harry are increasingly distant.
And then Albus overhears a conversation between his father and an old old man, and makes the sudden rash decision to take righting some past wrongs into his own hands.
I didn’t notice it at the time, because I was just flying through the story, but afterward, the whole story seems . . . unlikely to me (I know, it’s all magic and made-up anyway, but you know what I mean). In the 7 Harry Potter novels, I never felt like Harry was just looking for adventure; they always found him. Whether his name got added to the Goblet of Fire without his knowledge or Sirius Black seems out to get him, the trouble Harry gets into is never because he just wants to be a hero.
This one, which all comes from Albus’ sudden decision to make a difference, seems much more random to me. And I’ll admit that Albus just wasn’t as likable a protagonist as Harry always was.
Also, Harry Potter has always been the backbone of the series, so it’s a major departure to have him as not quite the main character. You certainly see plenty of Harry, but. . . Albus is definitely the center of the story.
And Harry seems so much flatter to me than he ever was in the original books (my nearly 31-year-old self is cringing at the thought that parents/adults are just much duller than reckless 14 or 15 year olds, at least in fantasy).
It’s an interesting plot because it is a major mix between new characters and plot lines, and familiar characters and stories. I’ve read some reviews saying it feels like fan fiction, and I can absolutely see that. It does have that sort of new/old mashup feeling. I won’t pretend it’s not hugely fun to see familiar characters (Draco Malfoy! Hermione as Minister of Magic! Dumbledore in his picture frames! Ginny and Ron!).
In Harry Potter and the Cursed Child there were some amusing parts, but I didn’t find it as clever or funny as the original series – I think I only really cracked a major smile once.
Still, I’m absolutely glad I read it – it was totally delightful to be back in that world with those characters again, and no one has an imagination quite like J.K. Rowling. If you’re a fan of the original series, it’s just a fun quick dip back into that beloved storyline, brief though it might be.
Mostly I just really am dying to go back and read the whole series again. I’m not planning to read them with Ella until she’s about 8, so I have plenty of time to enjoy them by myself this year and still have a couple more years before we read them together.
And let me tell you, if the stage version of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child ever comes to anywhere remotely near to me, you better believe I’ll do anything short of selling my children to get myself a ticket.
The book begins at King's Cross Station, with Harry's and Hermione’s respective children—Albus Potter and Rose Granger-Weasley—going off to Hogwarts for the first time. Albus is afraid he will break the family tradition and be sorted into Slytherin rather than Gryffindor. On the Hogwarts Express, Albus makes friends with Scorpius Malfoy, the son of Draco Malfoy. Scorpius is sorted into Slytherin, then in a complete surprise Albus Potter is sorted into Slytherin. Rose is sorted into Gryffindor and becomes popular as Albus shows no particular magical aptitude, thus widening the distance between her and her cousin Albus. Scorpius and Albus are friends, but rumors about Scorpius's birth cause him to be an outcast.
Draco Malfoy is tormented by rumors that Voldemort used a Time-Turner to impregnate his wife Astoria to give birth to Scorpius. He asks Harry Potter for a statement that all Time-Turners have all been destroyed. Harry is then visited by Amos Diggory and his niece Delphi, who each want Harry to go back in time to the Triwizard tournament and save his son, Cedric, since he was an innocent victim of Lord Voldemort.
Over a holiday, Harry arrives to give Albus a present: his own baby blanket. The gesture feels empty; Albus and Harry argue about Albus’s difficulties at school and Harry says he sometimes wishes Albus wasn’t his son. Albus leaves to go back to Hogwarts and Harry’s scar begins to hurt for the first time in nineteen years.
Albus and Scorpius offer to help Amos and Delphi Diggory by using the Time-Turner to go back in time to stop Cedric’s death by saving him from winning the Triwizard Tournament. They use Polyjuice Potion to steal a Time-Turner from the Ministry of Magic and sabotage Cedric in the first round of the Tri-wizard tournament.
Harry and Draco discover Albus and Scorpius outside Hogwarts when they are transported back to the present, as the Time-Turner has a five-minute limit. After being warned of a 'dark cloud' around his son by the centaur Bane, Harry tells Albus to keep away from Scorpius.

The next day, the meddling with time yields small changes. Ron is married to Padma Patil, Hermione is a teacher at Hogwarts, and Albus is now in Gryffindor. They go back in time to sabotage Cedric’s Second Task of the tournament. When they return to the future, Scorpius can’t find Albus and is informed by Headmistress Umbridge that Harry Potter was killed during a failed coup on the school at the Battle of Hogwarts; Albus does not exits. Scorpius goes to Severus Snape, who in this narrative is still alive, to ask for help. Scorpius explains that Harry Potter is alive and Voldemort is dead in another world. Snape leads them to the base of the resistance, The Order of the Phoenix. They use the Time-Turner to go back to the Triwizard tournament and Albus is prevented from casting his spell on Cedric. When they return, Dementors arrive and suck out Hermione and Ron’s souls. Snape is also killed.
Scorpius goes back in time and finds Albus alive. Scorpius wants to destroy the Time-Turner. They hand it to Delphi but realize she is not a Diggory; she is the daughter of Lord Voldemort. Delphi wants Albus to travel in time to make Voldemort ruler by humiliating Cedric or she will kill Scorpius. She takes them back in time to the Third Task maze and tortures Scorpius, but is struck by Cedric who thinks it is part of the tournament. Delphi, Albus, and Scorpius pick up the time-turner and Delphi destroys it.
They stop at an unknown period. Albus and Scorpius discover that they have been transported to the day that Harry’s parents died. Delphi aims to stop Voldemort from attempting to kill Harry in the first place, so that when he kills Harry, the curse will not be rebounded.
Albus and Scorpius send a message to Harry in the present through the baby blanket that Harry gave to Albus with the date and time they are at. Draco has indeed concealed a Time-Turner, and Harry, Ginny, Draco, Ron, and Hermione travel in time to the date: Halloween Eve, 1981. When they arrive Harry transforms into Voldemort to lure Delphi. Delphi explains to him that she is the child of an affair between Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange. The transfiguration begins to fade and Delphi realizes it's Harry, not Voldemort. They duel, and Albus helps his father to beat Delphi. They then hear the real Voldemort arriving to kill Harry’s parents and realize they cannot intervene or risk changing the future. Harry watches his parents being murdered.

In the present, Scorpius asks out Rose Granger-Weasley who declines, but give him hope for the future. Harry pledges to be a better father and explains that Dumbledore and Snape were great, but flawed men, and he must not feel obligated to live up to their accomplishments. Both Harry and Albus are filled with hope for their relationship.
