No I like Harry potter tho did you?
Any good if u did?
I did! It's a very very quick read, I don't even think it took me two hours. It's very JK Rowling - full of ridiculous plot holes and questions that could have been answered in ten minutes if everyone had stopped sulking. The stage directions are absolutely laughable - at one point, they read to "Cut to black," because there are a lot of cuts you can make on a stage. If I were responsible for directing it, I'd have all three credited writers drug into my theatre to be shot in front of me to make sure that they died.
But of course, as always, not a single bit of that is the point because the emotional notes are fantastically played and there's just a lot to chew on afterward. That's always been Rowling's bag, imo at least - the writing struggles to reach all the way to mediocrity, but it gives you so many wonderful ideas and images that you can meddle with in your head that it doesn't matter, and the story just gets better the longer that you think about the large concepts rather than struggling through the actual line-by-line reality of the thing. I'd definitely reccommend it for any Potter fan, not least coz I really want someone to discuss the big twist with.
