I am an avid fanfiction lover. For hours a day, I can spend my time wasting away in front of my phone or laptop screen just reading (I get very lazy when it comes to adding chapters to my own fanfiction) chapter after chapter of Harry Potter fanfics. So that inspired me to do reviews and suggestions for the best FanFics I find on fanfiction.net.
For a very long time, I’ve loved reading fiction that describes the lives of the next generation of Potters, Weasleys and Malfoys. So for this review, I found a pretty good-albeit a tad long-fanfiction by a user called KimTomPW.

Fanfiction Name: Harry Potter: The Next Generation
Author: KimTomPW
The fiction takes place in the year that Albus Severus Potter is due to start Hogwarts. There are 14 chapters that cover the first year Albus spent at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Potters have to go in hiding after the fall of Lord Voldemort and they send their eldest son James to grow up with Ron and Hermione Weasley. Rumour has it that a second Potter son was born but nobody knows where he is.
Albus No Surname is retrieved by Headmistress McGonagall from an orphanage to the wizarding world. During his first year at Hogwarts, he becomes close to Rose Weasley. At the end of the year, he won’t be returning to the orphanage, but to his unknown uncle and aunt…Albus waits the entire year in suspense, trying to find out who his parents are.
I found the fiction good but I give it a 2 star rating for 2 reasons:

I found the fiction good but I give it a 2 star rating for 2 reasons:
- It was very cliché. Akin to a combination of Tom Riddle’s youth and Harry Potter’s. Many of the occurrences at Hogwarts almost mirror those that occurred in Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. You can basically work out the story yourself but yet, you still want to read on.
- The spelling is atrocious. If you’re a grammar and spelling buff, don’t read this, you’ll frustrate yourself majorly. I didn’t enjoy it for these two reasons, but though it was cliché and badly spelled, I persevered.

This was a sequel to Harry Potter: The Next Generation and I think it was definitely an improvement plot wise. Lily Luna is about to start her first year at Hogwarts, Rose and Albus are becoming Quidditch buffs and we’re getting a whiff of a Scorpius/Rose pairing brewing. Now, I only started reading the next generation fiction for the pairing and it was a bit of a disappointment that it was so short lived in this one.
However, the truly exceptional plot twist for this 10 chapter sequel is that we begin to read about notes received from the Potters who have been in hiding for the past eleven years.
There is one other sequel after this one: Harry Potter: The Return
Again, the spelling is awful but the cliché factor starts to lesson.
All in all, I enjoyed the read, it was like revisiting Harry Potter from a newer angle!
