"The Kid saved my sanity while I waited for my kid. I’m 32, I’ve had a home visit, I’ve filled out the paperwork, and now I’m waiting and waiting to be picked by a birth mother to adopt her baby. Through it all, I keep on my person a tattered copy of this Dan Savage book. How the story of a white gay couple adopting a baby boy feels like exactly the same journey as a single black woman adopting a baby girl is its magic."

Despite Eddie Redmayne's best attempts, and the inclusion of 'Star power' in the form of Johnny Depp, the first Harry Potter prequel 'Fantastic Beasts and where to find them' didn't really set all that high a bar for any subsequent sequels.

A bar that this fails to meet.

Honestly, I found it long, boring, plodding and confusing, completely lacking in any of the sense of wonder or magic and friendship that made the original Harry Potter films so enjoyable.

Not impressed to say the least!

I was very excited for this game when it was announced, I pre registered for what felt like forever. As soon as it was released I had it downloaded and ready to play.
This is where it started to go wrong. The game has not much to offer other than a link to the Harry Potter universe. The interactions with characters are minimal and magic can only be used when specified.
Overall I found this game to be a disappointment, especially when compared.to pokemon go.

What an amazing short read. This story is about a man that saves an underwater race from being devoured by a sea serpent. So much happens in just 50 pages. There is mystery, love and adventure. A cruel king, a downtrodden boy with rights to the throne, magic shells, mystical storms and a ships captain who believes in myths and legends. I haven't done my research yet because I was so excited to let you know how amazing this read was, but I hope there's a sequel.
