No matter how hard I tried to make myself like this book, I kept on getting disappointed. As a Potterhead, I was very excited to read about the 19 years later story but maybe I was expecting too much, the reality wasn't what I had hoped for. There were numerous plot holes, characters acting out of character without any explanation, and the thing that bugged me the most was that the book felt more like bait for us Potterheads. The appearances of our dear characters from the older books was definitely pleasing but the entire theme felt forceful and stretched.
