Full Script (杰希咖自己一字一句码的哟，如果有typo欢迎指出，多多包涵。Enjoy~)

J.K. Rowling has announced that there will be a new Harry Potter book… ish.
It’s not strictly a book. It’s the script of the upcoming play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, and I know what you’re thinking, but it’s not about Harry’s friendship with McCaulay Culkin.
The play actually takes place 19 years after the last book, and features a thirty-something Harry balancing his job at the Ministry of Magic with being a father. That really sounds depressing.
So please, spare us, and this goes for all beloved childhood stories. I can’t take reading about a grown-up Holden Caulfield assistant-managing a Costco.
I don’t want to read about the Narnia kids’ unfulfilling marriages. “I used to be a king, Brenda! A king!”
And no one wants to see “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” go through menopause.
