The Harry Potter play will be printed as a script book too. It will apparently be available the day after the play premieres. While I'm excited about the book, you would think they would give the play a better chance at doing well by releasing the print version later.

I don't think anyone who is buying the book would not go see the play.

Add in that most people wont be able to see it in London and I think this is a good decision.

Wow. Hard to believe it's almost been 10 years since the last book was released.

I hope the story is good and well received, as I really enjoyed the series and the movies.

That being said, I personally have zero interest in this. I really loved the original stories and liked how it wrapped up the storylines nice and neat, providing a good level of closure.

Not really interested in diving back into that world for another long haul, especially given how much other media/entertainment is out there these days.

Not going to wish or deny others their fix in this. I am just sitting this one out.

So for this book, you'll be the Casual Vacancy?

I think they know that the plot will be leaked the day of the premiere (if not before), so it's best to monetize as quickly as possible.
