Sophie Reads: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1&2 by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany

Hello Everyone!
I hope you are all doing well! I have just been slacking on the blogging game and I apologize for that. But I will be back because I have a couple of ideas for different blog posts. But now I have another Sophie Reads and boy am I excited for this one.

Something you all should know about me is that I am obsessed with Harry Potter. When I was younger, I had trouble reading. For me, I had to get tutored in reading and I am forever thankful to my teacher who tutored me. One of the ways my mom got me to read and push myself was that she to paid me to read. My first book that she paid me to read was Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone by J.K. Rowling. That book changed my life and I am forever grateful for my mom for paying me $5 to read it. And that is where my love for Harry Potter came from!

But now onto the book review! Today, I will be reviewing for you the new Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2

Summary:

This Harry Potter script takes place nineteen years later from the last Harry Potter book. This is written in script form instead of an actual book because it was performed in London.
This script is mainly based on Albus Severus Potter, Harry Potter's son. Throughout Albus's time at Hogwarts, things begin to change. Harry is dealing with his past and Albus is dealing with the difficulty of being Harry's son. Throughout this script, the power of revenge, family, and power comes into play and changes the way how the world of magic will be forever.

My Thoughts:
As someone who was in theatre for a couple of years, I know how difficult it can be to read a script and truly get into the characters mindset. In a book, there is more description and it helps you truly get into that specific world. Saying that, I did not get into the first 20 pages. I was actually extremely disappointed. I just could not get into the mindset to truly enjoy the story. But as I kept reading on and pushing forward, I began to fall in love with the story. I began to get extremely attached again like I did before in the past books.

When I finished the script, I wanted to read more. I felt that I wanted to go back and reread all the other Harry Potter books. This script made me really fall back in love with reading again. There has been a lot going on in my life but this script and sitting down and reading it made me so happy that I realized why I love reading again.

My last thought is that if everyone who is a Harry Potter fan, you will love this script. There are some characters that you hated in the previous books that you will praise. I know....shocking. But trust me, you will, or at least I did. But overall, I highly recommend this script. If you have not read the other books, you would not understand anything that this script is talking about. One thing I am hoping is that this will be created into a movie. I would be oh so happy and I know millions of people would as well.

I hope you all enjoyed this blog post. I have truly missed writing and talking about things that I love and have been enjoying. I hope you all have a wonderful day or night wherever you are and I cannot wait to keep writing for you all!

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Change. All I Want is Change.

As many of you know, there has been a lot happening around the world in the past months. I have been wanting to write this blog post for an extremely long time. But I am not going to lie, I was scared but I am not scared any more. Words are extremely powerful now a days and someone needs to say something about what's going on. Some of you have no idea what I am talking about. So today, I wanted to talk about my opinion on the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases. When I talk to my friends, they had absolutely no idea the situation, what happened, who these people were. I am not blaming them but I think our society needs to open their eyes to the little things like friend drama and open their eyes to the world. I am not going to lie. I was one of those kids. I could careless about the world. I was not fascinated in it. All I wanted to do was hang out with my friends and just be in my own world. But then I took this class in high school called Current Issues. Ever since that day, ...

So happy it is summer! Today, I will be doing my June favorites. Now June has been a really fun month. A whole bunch of things happened and I cannot wait to share them with you. Also, I have tried a bunch of great products as well as fallen in love with old favorites.  My most favorite favorite this month was graduation! I graduated from high school! Woo! Finally! Congrats class of 2014!! :) So here are some pictures from the big day! So my dress was from Kohls and it is from the Lauren Conrad collection. I absolutely love this dress. It was super comfortable and breathable. I love the print as well as the little cut out in the front.  My cap I personalized with my all time favorite quote which is "Stay Gold" and it is from the novel The Outsiders by S.E.Hinton. I got all the items from Michael's and then I had to put some dog stickers on the bow because I adore my dog. It was really easy to do. My next favorite is a present I got ...
