"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."

I went in to this book without any expectations. I didn't want to see this as the eight book in the Harry Potter series, and also not as a book written by J.K. Rowling but a story written by Jack Thorne based on a new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany. That's what I did, and I really enjoyed the reading experience. 

It was absolutely amazing, to meet the new characters J.K. Rowling had to offer and although it was quite the cliche, and something that probably a lot of fans could have come up with, the story was great. I really liked the elements that came back and I would love to see the play one day!

I can definitely see and understand why people either love it or hate it, but if you are still in doubt whether to read it or not, I would highly recommend to give it a chance.

TOP 5 WEDNESDAY: FAVOURITE CHARACTER NAMES

Hello!

Today is Wednesday which means it is time for another Top 5 Wednesday. This week we are discussing our favourite character names which I find really exciting! Once again these are not in a particular order, because I simply can't decide which I prefer the most.

Jupiter - Orbiting jupiter

My first pick is Jupiter from the book 'Orbiting Jupiter'. I'm not gonna mention anything about the character because it will spoil like everything of the book. But I chose this because I think it is such an interesting name, -and thing, to name your child after a planet. 

Lola - lola and the boy next door

Lola is a name I loved after the first time I heard it, which I think was in the movie LOL where Miley Cyrus played Lola. I just think it is a fun and quick name!

auggie - wonder

Auggie, short for August is a character from 'Wonder', one of my all-time favourite books. Auggie is such a cute character and, August is my birth month and I think that is why I feel a special connection between me and this name. 

Sophie may - billy & me

This name I picked more because of the last name, than the first name. Again, a month, but what can I say. I guess I just really like months as a name. Beside that, Sophie is always a nice name!

Luna Lovegood - harry potter

Luna! I love that name, I think it is one of the cutest names I have heard in my life so far. It also reminds me of the stars and galaxy which is another reason why I really love this name.
