Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

I know it has been many years since it's release, but i wasn't a potterhead then, & i want to give my opinion.

Obviously, this will contain spoilers.

Why was the-play-which-shall-not-be-named even greenlit? It sucks SO BAD. Harry is abusive & narcissistic, which the original Harry certainly WAS NOT, Cedric becomes a Death Eater & kills Neville, which he would NOT do, & Bellatrix & Voldemort have a daughter. I think i don't have to say anything else about that because it already sounds bad.

Like.. Harry didn't like his fame. He didn't like being in the spotlight, he didn't like that everybody gossiped of him, everybody wanted to talk to him, etc. Why is he signing autographs? Why is he like this? He shouldn't be!

Cedric was a loyal boy, & kind. The fact that he became a Death Eater because he lost the Triwizard Tournament is horrifying. He would NOT do that.

& imo, i think bringing Voldemort back (i know he wasn't literally brought back, but Delphini is related to him) was a bad idea. He died. Bellatrix died. There is NO way they could have made her.

To make a kid, what do you need? Love. What is the thing that Voldy can't feel? Love. He also didn't care for Bellatrix, so, how did this even happen???? Did J.K. go crazy??

Oh wait, that's right, SHE DIDN'T EVEN WRITE THE GODDAMN BOOK!

The-play-which-shall-not-be-named is just a complete disaster. I know it has a plethora of problems i didn't mention, but i didn't want to make an old testament of a post.

Title

Delphini is a weird character and her existance kinda breaks canon and many people don't like that. So i have a theory to fix that.

My theory is thay she was born to Bellatrix and Rodolphus some time during HBP. Maybe in march 1997. This would mean she isn't actually Voldemort's daughter (I doubt he would want or could even have a child). And she doesn't have parseltongue, so Cursed Child would happen differently.

Now, Bellatrix wouldn't have been visibly pregnant in department of Mysteries or in spinner's end.

Bellatrix and Rodolphus escaped Azkaban in January. Rodolphus imprisoned again in June 18. Sometime between those dates Delphini is concieved, and could be born around March 1997 during the events of Half-Blood Prince.

Bellatrix wasn't at the battle of the astronomy tower and could have been because Voldemort was still angry about her failure at the department of mysteries, or perhaps because she was pregnant or recovering from pregnancy, or it was both of these factors.

In CC it is said she was born in Malfoy Manor before battle of Hogwarts. But Bellatrix's abscence from HBP, and her not appearing pregnant in DH means it makes more sense for Delphini to be born during the events of HBP, or at least before the skirmish at Malfoy Manor.

Delphini didn't seem to attend Hogwarts, and then Cursed child can proceed as it did or a bit differently, in order to more accomodate to canon. (Removing time turners would fix a lot of mistakes)

Also Rodolphus could be the one to tell her she is the heir of Slytherin, despite the fact this is a lie.

I think movieflame on youtube made a video that had a similar idea fixing the cursed child.

Thoughts?

Albus and Scorpius from The Cursed Child play. THEYRE SO CUTE TOGETHER. idk I just get some romantic vibes between em. You're allowed to disagree, just pls don't hate or like argue.

Ok, I just reread the Cursed Child with a new set of eyes and WOW

THE CURSED CHILD ISN'T ACTUALLY TOO BAD

I actually enjoyed myself. Yes, there are some things that are kind of awkward, but I'm reading it and I'm going, 'Honestly, why do people hate this so much?' It was fine. I remembered how much I related to Scorpius (as a person, not because of his familial situation AT ALL) and was amazed, once again, that I actually looked forward to the bits of my day where I had the free time to read the playscript.

So yeah, why do most of ya'll hate the Cursed Child so much?

In <Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,> Scorpius travels to a timeline where Harry Potter was dead, and Voldemort was the ruler. What if we lived in that world? Would we cause a rebellion? Or join the Death Eaters?

This is a HP only roleplay, and the setting is 2023, in a timeline where Voldemort is the supreme ruler of the Wizarding World.

Rules:

1. Too violent stuff is disallowed

2. No controlling each other's characters

3. Keep things PG-13

I um - I think this is the first time I’ve ever posted art-related content on this wiki, haha.

So yeah, this is an unfinished project I’ve been working on. It’s still a work in progress, so it’s not done by any means (obviously). I’m going to finish sketching it, add lineart, color, shading, highlights, etc.

Anyways, this is supposed to be Albus and Scorpius reacting to their wands lighting up. Y’all remember the Wand Dance in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child? It’s one of my favorite scenes, so this sketch is inspired by it. I absolutely love old Disney cartoons, too - and I think it shows in my art style, lol.

But like - I made Albus’s hair extra fluffy, and now I’m obsessed with it. 🥰

I haven’t drawn many characters from the Wizarding World - any suggestions? Maybe I can make a series of sketches for those who want requests. :) Hopefully, I’ll post the final results of this drawing sometime soon (if that’s something you guys are interested in seeing).

And if the photo quality is bad, I sincerely apologize. I’ve learned the hard way that Fandom absolutely demolishes photo quality.

This sketch belongs to me. Do NOT use, steal, claim, trace, or manipulate my artwork in any way, shape, or form. Thank you.

Have a lovely day. ✨

This post contains spoilers from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Alright, I deleted the Fandom app for a few months, but some of my deep-rooted fandoms and interests are resurfacing and coming back to haunt me - and the fact that I just saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for the first time last month doesn’t help either, haha.

So I visited London for two weeks back in June. I owned the book for quite some time before I saw the play, but I never bothered to read it once I found out it was written in its script format. In other words, I went into the play completely blind, with no expectations about what I was about to see. I was completely unbiased.

After watching the play, I did a quick Google search and read up on some reviews, blogs, posts, etc. - just to see what the consensus was with other Potterheads. And lo and behold, it seems most fans hate Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

What’s my opinion of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?

I actually don’t mind it that much.

Am I saying that I loved it? No. But did I hate it? No. There were a lot of elements that I liked. But it doesn’t take a genius to notice the flaws, either.

I thought the soundtrack was pretty good (I listen to it sometimes while I’m studying or working). And the way the Time Turner and certain spells/scenes were portrayed was really clever and entertaining. But the best part wasn’t the illusions on stage or the music - Albus and Scorpius are fun characters, and I think their friendship - as well as their motivations - is compelling enough for me to cheer them on. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised.

But I won’t lie. Some aspects of the play threw me off, too. Hermonie’s personality isn’t the same in the play. She’s much more cold, calculated, and arguably more demeaning. Ron, on the other hand, is more clueless and - admit it - stupid in the play than he ever was in the books or films. And Cedric becoming a Death Eater if he survived the Triwizard Tournament? Laughable. These things just aren’t realistic, and they disappointed me as a result.

But in my opinion, the pros equally weigh against the cons, and I feel as though Harry Potter and the Cursed Child doesn’t deserve some of the criticism it’s been receiving. There are far worse things in this fandom, wouldn’t you guys agree?

What are your thoughts on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?

Personally for me it's absolute trash it literally makes no sense at all and is a disgrace to the Harry Potter series

So I was looking at Harry Potter stuff on Amazon and I came across the most broken thing ever-

It was a Harry Potter PARODY movie called Harry Hotter and Villaindemort.

...

I'm so confused right now and I also really want to watch that thing.

Btw, apparently it's literally a parody of The Cursed Child.

*P.S., what would this go in?

Okay here is my rant on the Cursed Child. You guys all need to accept that it is canon. JK Rowling herself helped with it and said it was canon. Just because you don’t like a storyline doesn’t mean it isn’t canon. Also I think many reasons why people don’t like the book is because it is a script and not an actual book. I believe all of you would change your mind and like it if you see the show. The show is great and even made non Harry Potter fans (My mom and some other people sitting next to us) love the show. So stop hating and saying it isn’t canon when the creator of Harry Potter herself said it was.
