This Fantasy book picks up where Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows leaves off, only 19 years later. It is a screen play, but you don't realize it so much as you start to read. In this book, Harry Potter's son and Draco Malfoy's son become best friends while facing obstacles from the past and present. Pictured above is my dog, Bellatrix. http://www.jkrowling.com/book/harry-potter-cursed-child/ #UCFLAE3414sp17
