Eighth Installment to the Harry Potter Books?!

WARNING!  THERE WILL BE SPOILERS IN THIS POST, SO IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED EITHER READING THE BOOKS OR WATCHING THE MOVIES, I SUGGEST YOU DO SO BEFORE YOU READ THIS POST.

Thank you.
  Yes everyone.  It's true.  There will (finally) be an eighth book to the Harry Potter series. I am so happy.  Although, it's a bit different than what I was expecting.  Before we get the actual book, there's going to be a play.  A PLAY.  That is NOT what I was expecting.  AT ALL.  (I bet there won't even be tickets by the time I have the chance to look for them...)  Why did she choose to make it a play, I am not sure, but it is definitely different.  And I'm not sure if it's an actual book or just the script of the play.  (I so hope it's a book.)
The Eighth Story. Nineteen Years Later.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in London's West End on July 30, 2016.

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

This blurb (I love using that word!) came from Scholastic: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

  Oh, and the story picks right back up where the epilogue from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ended.  I think this story, just from the little summary, is worth reading (or watching).  I'm looking forward to it.
  But this isn't all the Harry Potter news I had:

J.K. Rowling Announces American Wizarding School?

  J.K. Rowling is the star of surprises and hidden secrets!  The reason?  Do you remember in Harry Potter the Goblet of Fire, when Hogwarts wasn't the only wizarding school?  Well, apparently, there are actually eleven (can you believe that many!) wizarding schools.  I'll list them for you:
  • Mahoutokoro - You guessed it: JAPAN!
  • Uagadou - Africa!!!
  • Durmstrang Institute - Probably somewhere in Europe; uknown whereabouts
  • Ilvermorny - COMING SOON (is this the American wizarding school?  Hmm...?)
  • Beauxbatons Academy of Magic - Somewhere in Pyrenees
  • Castelobruxo - Brazilian school that takes students from all over South America

  Currently, there are seven wizarding schools that are known, but eleven of them exist.  Where could the others be???

  Alrighty!  That's pretty much all the Harry Potter news I have for today (well, other than that the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie is going to be put into three movies, but other than that.....)!  Tell, what did you find the most interesting or exciting?  Tell us in the comments!

    Ratings

    1 STAR - The book was pretty awful and we hope that no one has to suffer as we did.

    2 STAR - The book was okay, but there was a lot about it that wasn't good.


    3 STAR - The book was pretty good, but there were some parts we didn't like about. 
      We would consider  reading the book again.


    4 STAR - The book was great, just a few things here and there that wasn't the best.  We would definitely read the book again.


    5 STAR - The book was absolutely amazing!  There were few, if any, things we disliked about the book, but overall it was fantastic!
      We're putting this book on the 'Books to Buy' list.
