What does the Pageticker team say about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two?

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child brings the wizarding world into a script rather than a novel, following Harry as a father and Albus as a boy trying to escape his famous surname. Its time travel adventure offers plenty to discuss about friendship, family and the burden of expectations. A magical return, but one that works better for readers who enjoy theatrical storytelling than for anyone expecting another Hogwarts novel.
