Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts I & II
*Spoiler Alert*
With the last ever hard cover Harry Potter book being released on the 31st of July (which is in fact Harry’s Birthday) the world has gone crazy for this series once again. The author J.K Rowling teamed up with Broadway Director Jack Thorne and Broadway Play Writer John Tiffany to write this book but it really isn’t a book. It is the script for a theatre play which has been presented at Palace Theatre, London and I can expect many muggles around the world would like to see it hit the stage in their local city. However, this isn’t the only new release to be part of the Harry Potter Series with 3 new e-Books being released on Pottermore, a website owned by Rowling’s herself. If the wasn’t enough for the much loved book and film saga another movie is also being released this …show more content…

The target audience for this book review is young adults who are interested in buying the book or is familiar with the previous books in the series. I have presented my review as a blog piece using very casual language targeting the younger audience that generally read blogs. I found this style of writing easier to address the points that needed to be talked about such as the futures of characters.
Writing as a blog, it is easily accessible and can be found by a Google search or shared with friends and family on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. This allowing my piece of writing to be read by people around the world which would be harder if it was published in the local newspaper which only has a small target audience and cannot be bought worldwide.
The purpose of this writing piece is to review the new Harry Potter book and address how this has benefited the series overall. This allowed me to also talk about J.K. Rowlings new releases which made my piece interesting and

    Thomas S. Hibbs’ expository essay “Memento Harry” (2011) examines the recurring notion of memento mori in Rowling’s Harry Potter. Hibbs affirms that the Harry Potter series is a tribute to memento mori, “the virtuous cultivation of the memory of death.” Hibbs utilizes parallelism by presenting that the awareness of mortality is the assertion of “life over death, love over hate, and community over isolation,” incorporates logos by analyzing that “remembering and preparing for death are central virtues”, and relates Harry Potter to The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe in order to demonstrate that death is only conquered through selflessness. Hibbs perspective on the concept of memento mori is certainly penetrating and he persuasively

    Ever since the first came out in 1997, the Harry Potter novels have been a point of debate between readers, with some instantly attaching to the series, while others have been disgusted by each and every novel in the series. This major split seems to be between older traditionalist readers who are against the novels, and younger readers that see the books for what they are as entertaining and appropriate for young readers. Regardless of any single person’s viewpoint, the books rapidly became popular and weaved their way into pop culture. As a result, critics rushed to get their reviews of the novels out and give their opinion on the novels sweeping the world by storm. Two of these critics, Joan Acocella and Harold Bloom, were among these critics
