J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter e la maledizione dell'erede

LA RECENSIONE

In 2016, the first theatrical play of Harry Potter was born, which does not follow the seven books of the entire Saga but is a separate chapter. A new chapter set twenty years after the Deathly Hallows.
How wonderful to meet again all the characters who survived the last battle against evil. Ron and Hermione, Harry and Ginny Weasley, Draco Malfoy.
And especially the new generations.
The second son of the Potters who carries an embarrassing name: Albus Severus Potter.
Unluckily, at the sorting hat ceremony, instead of going with Gryffindor, he is placed in Slytherin. Him? Harry Potter's son? Noooooooooooo....
And who is his best friend? Scorpius Malfoy, also the son of... (rumor has it that he's the illegitimate son of Voldemort, damn what an intriguing twist like in a soap opera)
Yes. This book (I wasn't fortunate enough to attend the theatrical performance) is the account of the "children of."
The "children of" struggle to live in the present especially if their father is at the pinnacle of magic, or the right arm of Voldemort.
A brilliant idea. Potter and Malfoy, awkward fathers, must ally to defeat evil and save their children from Voldemort.
Ah, Voldemort. But wasn't he dead? Yes, but the two young ones wanted to save Cedric's life. Remember Cedric? The actor who played in The Goblet of Fire (Pattinson) had such great success that he became the protagonist of Twilight. He died in the Triwizard Tournament, remember? No? Well, the two youngsters with a time-turner try to change the past by saving Cedric.
This change in the past disrupts the present, with the return of the one who must not be named.
A big mess. Between past and present, there is a parade of all of Rowling's characters with their quirks and strong characteristics.
And then there are the "children of." Who are the opposite of their fathers. Who would want to be the child of such a famous character? Life is predetermined. You can't have a bright future with that burden. Let's be honest here, which son of has been more successful than their father? Think about it, those of you with more historical memory than me.
I, as a Udinese fan, discover that Matteo Renzi's son is trying out for my team. Wow. Another child of. If he has taken after his father, he will make us go to Serie C in the blink of an eye.
Have you ever dealt with a child of?
