so-soUnpopular opinion time: This felt SO unnecessary. And it breaks my heart to say that as a HUGE Harry Potter fan with an "expecto patronum" tattoo and an HP inspired blog name. The play format lacked depth, made things feel super rushed, and had a fanfic quality. Hopefully I'm able to catch it on the stage as it was meant to be experienced, bc it really didn't do it for me in print. #donthateme #harrypotter #stillobsessed
RebeccasReading I felt the same way! I especially thought all our familiar characters were hard to grasp in this script. Never got a sense of the relationship between Harry and Ginny. Ron I thought regressed a lot to be solely comedic relief. Plus I just thought it should have been titled Albus Potter and... Something as Harry really wasn't the protagonist. *sigh* I really wanted to love this! 8y
swishandflick @Writergal: Yes, exactly! It was more "Albus Potter and the Butterfly Effect" than anything else. Where's the time-turner for JK Rowling to rethink this? At least we have Fantastic Beasts to look forward to, that looks like it'll be awesome! 8y
RebeccasReading @swishandflick I hope so! I'm sad though that Rowling has said after this book that Harry's story is finished... I'd rather it ended with Book 7. Harry definitely deserves a better ending to his story than this! 8y
Kluckleesie I felt the same way. definitely not canon. And honestly at times when the characters were speaking my brain went "there's no way so and so would ever say something like that". A bit disappointed but I'm glad I read it. 8y
