I read the books multiple times a year, watch the movies frequently and have read a lot of additional articles from pottermore. But giving something in the Harry Potter universe such a low score is honestly hurting my heart. If I was being more honest I would give this 1 star. It read like a mediocre fan fiction written by someone who has only seen the movies. Not to mention the giant plot hole of the time turner suddenly working in a way that it never has before (and in fact, was expressly written that it never could work in the way it does in Cursed Child). To insinuate he could just have one embarrassing moment and end up being a death eater is unreal. It was insulting to read that something as silly as being embarrassed could turn Cedric into a death eater- his character was one of dignity, loyalty, and strength. The characters were out of character by a lot. So I am used to the set up and with amazing special effects could see this being entertaining to sit through just for nostalgia sake.
I'm also an English major who took multiple courses on reading plays of all kinds. I love Harry Potter - like have a Harry Potter tattoo and obsess over it kind of love. Keep Harry, Ron, Hermione, McGonagall, Ginny alive in your memories instead. Your writers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.ĭon't do it. This reads like fan fiction, poorly written fan fiction and not even with any good ships!

Their imagination was set free with JK's works and personally I think that was one of her greatest gifts.engaging our imagination. The generation that grew up reading Harry's stories are now buying their own books and financing their own plays. The story, the meanders all over the place that the reader wonders if the writers had a clue to start with or if it was just to "stand on the shoulders of geniuses." There was no way this was going to fail.none. Additionally, the number of names that are dropped is astronomical! Anyone worth knowing in the Potterverse is up front and counted.
And that becomes terribly clear very early on. Let's be clear.this was not written by JK.this is based on her series. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you’re selling it, you want to sell it. You didn’t earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don’t take any responsibility for it. You read what others had done and you took the next step.
