I was very disappointed.

Apparently this was great on stage, but Rowling (or whoever wrote it) doesn't know how to write plays (directions like "their minds are in hell" don't belong in scripts), nor can the writer punctuate. This can't have been edited; I didn't notice any such errors in her books, which I loved.

The plot was disjointed - how did Harry know Delphi's name? - and the characters apart from Albus and Scorpius were badly drawn. I couldn't see Ron or Hermione in their adult versions. I did rather love Scorpius though; his dialogue was witty and funny, but the scenes without the boys were awfully flat.
