3 stars
This wasn't as bad as I feared. I can actually get behind the story, at least mostly.
Harry is a grown-up now and struggles with his teenage son Albus. Who in turn struggles with being put into Slytherin and not being like his dad at all.
I'm not entirely sure how Albus got so isolated from his family, I'm certain Hermione would have raised Rose better than this, and I didn't really get Harry and Albus' initial conflict. I'm also not sure why Scorpius was put in Slytherin, he's a Ravenpuff if I've ever seen one.
Overall I liked the story and the whole time travelling aspect despite these minor flaws. I would have liked some more background on a few details, like how Bellatrix hid the pregnancy when she had Hermione in her power and why Albus could see the Potter's home when there was a Fidelius-Charm definitely still in place at that time and how on earth did they get hold of the baby blanket and why would Lily even leave the house when she was threatened by the most dangerous wizard alive? Like come on, she wasn't stupid.
