i honestly think it's the funniest thing that draco's son canonically has a crush on ron's daughter

I was actually expecting something like that after Ron warned Rose about Scorpius in DH. It seemed too perfect not to do it. Just imagine if they actually started dating: the awkwardness at family events between Ron and Draco and even more so between Arthur and Lucius would just be brilliant.

Still, I would have gladly sacrificed the canonicity of the crush for a better version of CC. I mean, even some of the canonical parts were changed, which just underscores how forced the entire script was. They couldn't even fully make it work within canon.

^ yeah, i do like scorose a lot lol it's just ironic

I just reread the Epilogue and the first two Scenes of CC side by side. They appear to be similar, but fundamentally contradict each other, seemingly to set up the difficulties between Harry and Albus. If CC needs to contradict canon to set up its story, then I'm left to wonder how canon CC can actually be.

The only notable thing in CC was Scorbus. Nothing else.

Yeah, um, everything Lector said

I’m halfway through it and so far I think it’s decent. My main problem I think is Harry’s relationship with Albus. Do people who had no or bad parent/parent figures really have that much problem with parenting themselves?

^ actually yeah, a lot of the time. people who grew up without that rock solid example of a good parent have a harder time figuring out how to do it themselves since no one ever showed him. though i think harry would have a bit easier of a time since he had several parental figures throughout the show and ginny definitely had fantastic parents.

I just have a hard time believing Harry could be such a jerk!

^ true. there's no explanation for that lol

Even after talking with portrait-Dumbledore and recognizing that he tried to tell him something and he still thinks not listening to his son is the right way to go. And yeah maybe it was just time-turner-changed Harry that thinking that but still it was a jerk move!
