★☆☆☆☆
Tremendous disappointment, None of the characters are recognizable.
There are multiple problems with this work, including an improbable, convoluted plot. But the worst parts of this script are the utterly unrecognizable characters. This is absolutely unforgiveable and leaves me baffled. Who are these people? How did this get so screwed up? Since when is Draco Malfoy a source of wisdom and advice to Harry Potter? Why change Snape into a weird buddy-buddy defender instead of the delghtfully unpleasant character who is heroic despite himself? Yes, Scorpius is genuinely attractive as a person, and that is fine. But does any of this REALLY feel like the orignal series? Or honestly, isn't this like Imposter Harry Potter - and a transparent fail? My advice is, skip this. Don't pay a dime for this. Borrow it from the library if you must, but please do not spend your hard-earned money. This book is a tremendous disappointment.
