How It Felt To Read Harry Potter And The Cursed Child Book

As a till-death-doth-us-apart die hard fan of the harry potter series, I, of course, awaited the publishing of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Book with excitement and energy the new book coming out. Just having the book in my hand got me all jittery and tingly. I am not going to lie; reading this book felt like being on a roller coaster, whenever you thought it was all done; something new came in to disturb the comfort.

1. Fun

Because I was saddened by the ending of Harry Potter and the deathly Hallows; Just following the journey of Albus Severus Potter as he tries to discover himself was an amazing adventure. Getting to read the Cursed Child without any spoiler alert was the fun part after the excitement. One thing I didn't expect but that is certainly great is that it is in the form of a play. It was also fun to see into the mind of a younger Hermione even if we didn't get to see Rose in most action. The little glimpse of her reminded us of young Hermione when she started Hogwarts.

2. Terrified

Reading Cursed Child, you never know what is coming. Of course you worst fear is that Voldemort never died, and yes I said his name; but the book makes it seem like all the strength Harry and the Order went through might be in vain since SPOILER ALERT the scar starts hurting again and the dreams return.

3. Angry

Albus Severus Potter is the most frustrating protagonist in history. Harry Potter was pretty adventurous and respected the rules less, but Albus was just plain frustrating. No Spoilers

4. Surprised

There are a lot of things readers never see coming, but one of surprising part of Cursed Child is Scorpius Malfoy; Draco Malfoy and Astoria's child. Despite my love hate relationship with Draco Malfoy, his kid is a genius and probably the best thing to happen to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Further more surprises is the fact that in the end Malfoy, Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny work together.

Plot twist: Who would have thought that Neville Longbottom was extremely important to the victory against Voldemort in the battle of Hogwarts? not me.

If you haven't read it, sorry for the spoiler alerts, tried to keep it to a minimum but you better find it quickly and read it!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.
