Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - My opinion
As I wrote in the previous post, I've recently read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
I'm really fond of Harry Potter and the reason why I (had?) never read this book before is because I was concerend it couldn't be up to the saga. I also heard the opinion of some friends that read it before than me (does "previously" work here instead of "before than me"?) and they advised me against it, so I gave up.
Anyway, I finally decided to give the book a chance and it's not so bad as I thought, indeed I liked it.
I think the secret to make this book enjoyable is to consider it as something apart from the saga, that's easy enough because the main character is not Harry Potter but one of his sons.
I have to admit that if I had considered this book as something strictly related to the others on Harry Potter's world I'd have never liked it, because the characters of the saga have been deeply altered in their personalities, so they are far from the ones that I'm used to love. Be that as it may, I had a good time reading this book and I took note of new English words to memorize that I'd like to learn to use.
Note: with this post I wanted to get out of my comfort zone using tenses and expressions that I find particularly difficult to better understand them through the corrections (maybe this is my worst post ever 🙈).
Any help you can give me is well accepted, thank you in advance!

You don't need "had" here. But if you wanted to use it, it would go like this:
the reason why I hadn't read this book before is...
I also heard the opinion of some friends that already read it before than me and they advised me against it, so I gave up.

I'm really fond of Harry Potter and the reason why I had never read this book before is because I was concerned it couldn't be wouldn't measure up to the saga series. I had also heard the opinion of some friends that read it before than me (does "previously" work here instead of "before than me"?) and they advised me against it, so I gave up. Yes, "previously" could replace "before me. You could also replace "me" with "I did."
Anyway, I finally decided to give the book a chance and it's not so as bad as I thought ("expected" might be a better choice here.), indeed I liked it.

As I wrote in the previous post, I've recently read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
I'm really fond of Harry Potter and the reason why I (had?) never read this book before is because I was concerend it wouldn't be up to the rest of the series. I also heard the opinion of some friends that read it before me and they advised me against it, so I gave up.
Anyway, I finally decided to give the book a chance and it's not so bad as I thought. I liked it. (As an American corrector we don't usually use the word "indeed". It is kind of a British "thing"...LOL)

*****When I make corrections I try not to change the integrity of the writer and will only change things that sound awkward. I made just a few corrections but you did a very good job here!
