First things first, a hurricane update. Mother and Daddy-O reluctantly relocated here after a mandatory evacuation. They arrived Friday night and have been in as high of spirits as possible. We’ve tried to make the most of the situation with lots of family time, big meals, the littles’ sports and such. They did get word this afternoon that their house sustained no visible damage from the front, which is incredible! Sister has yet to be able to get information on Some Beach. She has reached out to a few people but downed trees and power lines are making it hard to get around Tybee. Fingers crossed they fared as well as Mother and Daddy-O!! They are all waiting word from Chatham County on when they will be able to return to the area. I’ll update y’all tomorrow as well. Now, on to regularly scheduled programming.
I was really beyond excited for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child to release in July. I pre-ordered it and literally skipped to my mailbox the day it was to arrive. This eighth story in the Harry Potter series was written as the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. Oh, how I wouldn’t love to see that!!! It is based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, and reads as a script.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.
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. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.”
I will admit, that despite my sheer excitement, I did have a little reservation about reading a play script. In the end, I enjoyed the story and found it a quick read. That being said, I really missed the unspoken thoughts, descriptions and narratives that were lost in play form. I wish it had been longer, I wish it had been deeper, I wish, I wish, I wish… Despite all of my wishes, at the end of the day it is absolutely worth the time for any true Potter fan. I mean, we’ve waited eons for this so any little peek into what happened to Harry and the gang is welcome.
I’d love to know what y’all thought about this one. And, as always, let me know what is on your bedside!
