Everyone who grew up reading the books and watching the movies now get another chance to experience the magic that is Harry Potter. This past weekend J.K. Rowling's new script book, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was released. People all over the world have not only been looking forward to the play but have also been looking forward to the book release. You get to relive your childhood and feel the excitement you had when reading about magic. This book is about Harry Potter and his family and what it's like for his son to live a life having "The Boy Who Lived," as his father.

It's been nine years since the last book of the Harry Potter series came out and I think it's about time we have another story. We have always wanted to know what happened and how life is for Harry with a wife and kids. We wonder how his experiences growing up affected his adult life. Other questions we, as fans, have are what is going on with Ron and Hermione now? What happened to Draco Malfoy and what are his children like? What is Hogwarts like? How is life now that there is no more Voldemort? Hopefully, we learn all of that from this eighth story.

This book has been breaking records ever since it was let known that there would be another book. One of the records is it is the most pre-ordered book on Amazon for this year. The book is also the most pre-ordered book since 2007. What book was most pre-ordered in 2007, you ask? It was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Not much of a surprise that the record it broke was for a different Harry Potter book. This book was also the best seller at Barnes & Noble before it was released. How amazing is that?

All of the hype that has been happening since it was let known that there would be an eighth story shows you how much J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series means to everyone around the world. She has affected us in so many ways. These stories changed our childhood for the better. They let kids go to a world where good triumphs over evil even through hard times. It teaches kids that it is okay to believe in magic. It takes everyone to another world. All of the books that J.K. Rowling wrote are good for a sort of escape to another place when need be.

This past Saturday night there were book release parties at places all over the world. It's great to know that just a book can bring so many people together no matter what is going on in the world. I hope everyone enjoyed the release parties if they went, but if not, just enjoy the book. I have no doubt that this book is going to be just as amazing as the past seven. So grab a nice comfy space on your couch, since you probably won't be moving much when you get this book. And who knows? Maybe if we are lucky this means more Harry Potter books in the future? Keep your fingers crossed. I know I will.
