NON-SPOILERY REVIEW: 

First of all, the book is a play. The writing is so much different from the other harry potter books so don't feel disappointed because of that. It's a script so it would be different from what we are used to. It was still interesting and since it's not as descriptive as the other books, it's just a short read.

The plot wasn't really that amazing and it had so many plot holes but it was still enjoyable to read. Just go through it without analyzing it too much and you would enjoy it really well. I actually really enjoyed reading it even though I already knew what would happen (kind of got spoiled). The time travel aspect of this book was very interesting. It showed you so many things that could get messed up when you change something in the past. 

Albus and Scorpius were adorable together. There were also many funny scenes throughout the book. It focused more on the dialogues and the feelings of the characters. Plus, seeing old and new harry potter characters were both nostalgic and interesting. I love that there is another book in the Harry Potter world.

• I really love Scorpius Malfoy. He's just so adorable, kind, and fun to be around. I love that he likes reading and even though he gets bullied, he still has a positive view on life.
• I love Scorpius and Albus' friendship. They got along really well and were very supportive towards each other. I hated that Harry almost broke their friendship and I was surprised that it was Draco who got them back together.
• I was really shocked to see how kind Draco is in this book. He was an amazing and loving father towards Scorpius even in the future where Voldemort was alive and Harry was dead. He truly loved his son and his wife. I missed past Draco but this Draco was wonderful.
• I'm really glad that Hermione ended up becoming the Minister for Magic. I was really shocked by this turn of events.
• I'm devastated that Harry and Albus did not get along but you would really understand why. Apart from their miscommunication, it would be hard for Albus seeing how his father is famous for defeating the biggest villain of Slytherin and then Albus gets sorted into Slytherin.
• Omg my feels during the part where Snape was revealed to be still working for the Order even when Harry Potter died. He was so proud that Harry named his son after him. It broke my heart when Snape, Hermione, and Ron all sacrificed themselves so that Scorpius could go back in time to save the future.
• It was really irresponsible of Harry and the others to place the Time Turner in a place that's kind of easy to look for.
• I was really happy that Professor McGonagall is still as badass as ever. She's the headmaster and it was really fun seeing her scold Hermione and the others for keeping the Time Turner in the first place. I was also really happy that she let Scorpius and Albus see each other.
• I was glad that Harry and Professor Dumbledore had their talk. Even if Dumbledore is just a painting now. I'm glad that they kind of sort things out.
• The Trolley Witch thing was really creepy. 
• It was terrible when they changed the past and Ron and Hermione ended up not being together. Even though I am not a die hard fan of Ron and Hermione, it was still terrible. I am glad that in the version where Voldemort was still alive, Ron and Hermione loved each other and was able to tell each other of their feelings before they died.
• I am not even shocked that Bellatrix and Voldemort had a child. That's kind of disgusting but I think it's been a plot that's been used in fanfiction. It's not surprising given how much Bellatrix adored Voldemort.
• I am annoyed that at one timeline, Umbridge was alive. That bitch still made me mad as always.
• I wonder why Cedric killed Neville. Was it during the war? If not, why? I'm curious.
• I was devastated when Draco mentioned Astoria and how he wanted to use the time turner just to see her again.
• I was mad at Harry when he disrespected McGonagall. No one disrespects that woman.

FAVORITE QUOTES:

ROSE: The rumour is that he's Voldemort's son, Albus.
           A horrible, uncomfortable silence.
ALBUS: It's probably rubbish. I mean... look, you've got a nose. 

RON: Nothing scares me. Apart from Mum. 

SCORPIUS: Have you seen the books on these shelves? There are some serious books here. Banned books. Cursed books.
ALBUS: How to distract Scorpius from difficult emotional issues. Take him to a library. 

DELPHI: What have you done?
SCORPIUS: I, uh, I opened a book. Something which has - in all my years on this planet - never been a particularly dangerous activity. 

DRACO: I'm not here to antagonise you. But my son is in tears and I am his father and so I am here to ask why you would keep apart two good friends. 

DRACO: Keep up, old man.
HARRY: We're the same age, Draco.
DRACO: I wear it better.
