Only reason I gave it two stars was because it's a Harry Potter book. I don't like stories that go back and forth in time like this. Not that I can't follow, just annoying and I don't like the premise. Many things didn't make sense based on cannon. I also am not a fan of reading plays. That format doesn't flow in reading and slows things down. Read it if you must but get it from the library in case you'd prefer not to pay so much for a book you're not going to enjoy/read again. I have one for sell.
