Hi. I have written a book of my own. It's on sale now. czcams.com/video/sIipouhQLK8/video.html
Cool
Nice
Are you going to write a "30 years later" story in the middle of your inevitable success?
please say no please say no please say no
Nice
hi
The worst sin of the story...the confirmation that someone actually had sex with Voldemorte X.x;;
Are you sure he didn't just wave his wand over some follower and … oh, nevermind.
oh god that's truth
Margi Fisher it's bellatrix. Of course she would have sex with Voldemort. She practically orgasmed every time she saw him 😂😂
exactly hahahaha
Yeah I knew she was the mother...but still...blech lol
I *refuse* to believe _Voldemort_ had a _child_
Agreed. I always figured he was too psychopathic for that sort of stuff.
With Bellatrix of all people. Like Uncle Fester and Morticia. Ugh.
The ‘Tom riddles daughter’ fanfiction would disagree
well i refused to believe that dumbledore likes cock but it is what it is
johny guitar Because you’re a homophobe.
It's kinda ironic that the book is about Harry's son, Albus, being cursed by his dad's shadow and the actual book is cursed by the whole Harry Potter series' shadow
Yes, I completely agree
We don't count the cursed child as a part of Harry Potter series. the story ended with Harry defeating Voldemort. That's it we were done. Amazing story line amazing movies and books why did we need a bloody add-on for no fucking reason.
Well its not even a decent book even if you don't compare it with HP series...
no it's just bad
@@chandrasekharsatapathy3353 with every success is a spin off, some do better than others.
In a nutshell: It's badly written fan-fic.
I dont want to even consider this as a fan-fic
Trashfic
My first ever harry potter fanfic I wrote was better and I could barely type back then. I wrote about Malfoy getting a bowl of oatmeal upturned over his head and someone got a picture of it.
@@winterrain1947 Pleaseee I need to read this
@@samanthalau1592 I wish I still had it so you could read it. But, you're not really missing anything. It was written on a really low writing level. Like, "Malfoy saw a big bowl. It was blue. It had oatmeal in it. It was on a table. The table was brown."
Maybe someday I will rewrite it with my now much higher reading comprehension level, and put it on a fanfiction site.
I've read one fan theory that says harry potter and the cursed child never actually happend in the potterverse and it was all just an overblown attention hungry story written by rita skeeter inside the potterverse.
So JK Rowling if you ever feel like tweeting another random fact to add to the harry potter lore, here's my recommendation!
My money is on the events in the "Fantastic Beasts" movies being fabricated by Rita as well.
DaveLH the first one was passable, the second has one of the most laughably bad scripts I’ve seen in a very long time.
The fact that JKRowling wrote the script makes it laughable
JK: *nods and tweets another soliloquy about how wizards use the bathroom*
JK Rowling: *laughs in transphobia*
12 year old Scorpius is rumored to be the illegitimate child of Voldemort, who died 19 years ago? Gee, I wonder why nobody bought it
The rumor is drako couldn’t have children so they sent his woman back in time to bang Voldemort
@@infinnite10 That is one strange idea...
Finn Redmond
That’s got to be the most fucked up timetravel scheme I’ve ever heard...!
no wonder draco couldnt have kids he split while playing Quidditch.
What the frick man. Nobody needed to know if draco could have kids.
The part I hate most is the fact they made Cedric diggory into a death eater even though the whole reason people loved his character was his moral decency and kindheartedness
Here's a theory, the Goblet of Fire was rigged to allow Harry, who's to say that Cedric wasn't ALSO a plant? Him being so helpful to Harry serves Voldemort's plan, but without Cedric, Harry would have failed the second trial...
Cedric may have already been under sway of the Dark Lord, so his nice guy attitude was just an act. It's concievable
@@davidtucker9498 then why is he in Hufflepuff? Last time I checked, Hufflepuffs are loyal and moral
@@davidtucker9498 Well if Cedric was a spy, then why does he only tell Harry about the second task? If he was a spy for Voldemort, he would have done a lot more than vaguely tell Harry how to properly open the egg. He would have told him about the dragons and maze if his purpose was to help Harry out in tournament. Honestly, as a hufflepuff, turning one of the only important hufflepuff characters into a death eater feels like a slap in the face. Especially after the original books go out there way to characterize Cedric as a humble, brave, loyal, and a truly kind person.
Wasn't Ceddy like ready to let Harry the fucking goblet because he saved him and then they were like "let's take it together"? So clearly Cedric cared way too little about winning to become a fucking death eater lol
@@anidiotontheinterwebz1155 Well... Actually Pettigrew was a Gryffindor and I'm sure he was not loyal and brave.
I feel like J.K Rowling just found two bald dudes who had never heard of Harry Potter and asked them to write a Harry Potter book
Lmao
And the guys watched the movies before writing the book
@@chinuaalibatya7345 even i can write a better fanfiction by only watching rhe films
@@chinuaalibatya7345 please give credit to the movies
They could have just put David Yates up to the job again
The whole book is cursed, not just the child.
Yep
Then it should be called Harry Potter and the cursed book
JK is just not a scriptwriter.
The Senate jk barely wrote any of it
Absolutely
Sorting Albus into Slitherin doesn't subvert expectations.
Sorting him into Hufflepuff, that would subvert expectations.
True, especially considering the Sorting Hat specifically mentioned that Harry could have fit into Slytherin as well as Gryfindor. So the big two were completely expected.
I predicted Hufflepuff myself.
yes!
Absolutely
Nothing is wrong with Hufflepuff
"He [Harry] marries Ginny. They live happily ever after. There is literally no way to move forward from this point."

What's a very Potter sequel
@@bongosmcdongos4190 2 months late, but it's a pretty good Harry Potter musical by Starkid. A Very Potter Sequel is the sequel to A Very Potter Musical.
@@bongosmcdongos4190 theres also A Very Potter Senior Year, which all of the characters are reading from the script while acting, due to limitations

I highly recommend those musicals, I know it SOUNDS ridiculous but they’re actually fantastic!!

Broke: Plan to save Diggory
Woke: Plan to save Hedwig
R.I.P hedwig T - T
I'm still annoyed about the deaths of Hedwig, Sirius and Fred. They offered nothing but shock factor. I suppose Sirius' death could be explained as character development for Harry, but like... Come on, let him have a father figure other than Hagrid. He isn't Spiderman
@@hazeltree7738 There's some value in having a villain or system of villains who don't go down without due sacrifice, it makes them more threatening, but I don't like it when the pets die
@@hazeltree7738 Rowling didn't say killing the poor owl was a way to show Harry was now an adult and his childhood is dead? It's stupid and mean
@@hazeltree7738 seriously! Lupin and Tonks too! Literally nothing but shock value because despite Lupin’s importance we don’t even see him die, it’s just mentioned Dolohov killed him but it’s Harry’s thoughts and how could Harry know that when he was busy watching Fred die? And we don’t even see who killed him it’s just an explosion. Though I can say, it would’ve cheapened the story if there weren’t losses that heavy. Fred dying just as he made up with Percy was just…OMFG 🥲 lol so I get it but it just sucks that we don’t at least get a death scene for Lupin and we don’t see who killed Fred.
My biggest problems are 1) Harry being a horrible father made me feel gross and 2) Cedric becoming a death eater is so *wrong*
@Yaya M what happened to her?

@@alfiemccormack7988 that makes no sense
I don't know but the whole thing feels like a rushed fanfic.
100 percent
I cant believe JK Rowling agreed to this
Not even good fanfiction. I've read some pretty good Harry Potter Fanfiction and this wasn't it.
I’ve read better fanfics on effing pokemon. It’s sad, honestly
I've heard it's better on stage.
“The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.”
*Well ROWLING, that was a FUCKING LIE.*
Rowling didn't write The Cursed Child.
@@avpaavcomics1299 she approved soo she has 50% of the guilt
@@Eric-py8yy that’s because unlike that overweight loser George RR Martin, JK Rowling finds HP fan fiction charming and endearing. She enjoys it…
How was it a lie? It hadn’t pained him for 19 years
It's the "All was well" part. Rowling literally rewrote the final lines so it was very clear that Voldemort would NEVER come back. And then,we got this...
the only things i liked from the cursed child:
•albus being a slytherin
•albus and scorpius being best friends
that has so much potential but goddamn did they fail at it
yes, i agree with you😂
The whole book had potential to be great
In an early draft, there book was going to shift perspective between two characters (similar to A Song of Ice and Fire aka game of thrones). The first perspective character being Albus who IS sorted into Griffy house (and is in his 3rd year) - and the second character was a first year who is sorted into Slytherin and is resentful due to the stigma. Scorpius (again, 3rd year) is of course Slytherin and befriends the 2nd perspective character and much of the book jumped between Albus, Rose and a third new character, and the 2nd perspective character and Scorpius - with the two groups not even crossing paths in the first book but their actions affect each other.
There was going to be some moment where the 2nd perspective character has an epiphany that being sorted into Slythrin brought out the best in him because it made him work harder and improve himself, whereas being sorted into one of the other houses would have caused him to become complacent.
I assume at a certain point, the 2nd perspective character becomes the main character after the others graduate - and my theory is he become the Slytherin prefect - or maybe he himself takes on a pouty 1st year slytherin
Harry went through years of feeling unloved while living with the Dursley’s. There is NO WAY he would make his son feel the same way by telling him he wished he weren’t his son. That is one of my biggest issues with this story. The characters are not consistent with those developed in the original series.
Sarah Collins did you see the play? Cause if you did it totally all clicks.
@@crits2524 how?
It's not that uncomment that people with a bad childhood act like their parents when they become parents
People who get hit from there parents tendence to hit their kids too
It's just unrealistic that harry doesn't show ANY sign of "social awkwardness" or anxiety because of his bad childhood experiences in one of the harry potter books and than he is a complete asshole 19 years later
I hope it's understandable what i want to say, i'm not super fluent in english
István Károly Farkas while what you say matters, how you say it is even more important.
AloeVera I get what you're saying, but like saying your child wasn't born is just next level. Way worse than anything the Dursleys told Harry
I don't consider the Cursed Child part of the Harry Potter series either, it's completely terrible.
vvyni same
omg your pfp is so cute i love draco (as you can tell)
vvyni aww thx unless you're a mud blood 💚
no way I'm pureblood
it should DIE!!! LET IT DIE LET IT DIE! LET IT SHRIVEL UP AND DIE! my best friend betrayed me by getting the "book" i told her to burn it. she hasnt yet UGHHH
I refuse to believe Harry Potter, who spent the first 11 years of his life loveless and in a literal cupboard, would turn around and be a horrible father to his son. And I refuse to believe that Ginny Weasely, daughter of two parents who always cared for her and loved her and did their best, would let this happen.
It's pretty realistic, to be honest. Harry doesn't really understand what it means to be a good parent, because he didn't have those in his life. Also, people who had experienced pain have a penchant for spreading it further. Of course, Harry would put every bit of effort into being as good a father as can be, but I can imagine him just... Snapping at some point. And regretting it later.
@@cheekibreeki904 true. a lot of abusive parents were victims of child abuse themselves
@@Underworlder5 it's true in a general sense, I believe: people who cause pain to others, more often than not, do so because they themselves are in pain.
@@cheekibreeki904 Aside from the Weasleys
I will never ever consider Cursed Child as the said 8th story.
Ok no one cares

@@zikangplayz4302 You have noob in your name. Nothing you say matters.
the thing im most annoyed about is how Cedric, a HUFFLEPUFF who was always known to be kind hearted and loyal, would turn into a *death eater* just because he lost a tournament? i mean its fine if they decided to change the 'hufflepuff never had a dark wizard' law, but still, it didn't really add to the story.
I know, especially considering after Harry saved him in the maze he was telling Harry to take it, not him.
didnt he die
@dubusari he died in the 4th book, but Albus and Scorpius messed with time or something and he came back to life. Then he became a Death Eater just because he lost the Tournament. Hope that makes sense :)
@@sophias5224 Wait I didnt hear any mention of cedric being a death eater in the video, and I've just started to dive into this franchise so I'm sorry I dont know much.
@@sophias5224 The most wrong thing is, the time Turner can only turn back for 5 hour or less depending on the current time and the fact that they literally WENT to the past and saved cedric and shit completely messes with the whole explanation about the time Turner and hufflepuff's reputation and traits.
It's been my fan theory for ages that this is actually a terribly written story by Rita Skeeter
Ofc it is. Only rita skeeter can write such sh!t
@@anonymousperson1462 too true.
@@anonymousperson1462 Nah, Rowling can do it too. Look at her tweet, that does not look like good writing.
THEORY: J.K Rowling wrote herself into the universe as Rita Skeeter.
@@veeasaurus that's not a theory, that's the truth
i like that dumby is like 167 when he dies, but apparently madam hooch being alive still is pushing it
Umm isn't madam Hooch "YOUNG"
She was like 30 or so in Harry Potter era so she would be in her 50s in cursed child era
Don't get me wrong I HATE cursed child but this can't be said
@@sharfer374 yeah ik. that’s why i left my comment, cos i agree with you and disagree with austin
Canonically, 116. Not that long really.
@@sparksfly6149 i think that’s the new canon. i mean the last time i checked dumbledore’s age was a long time ago, but rowling has probably changed it like she has so many other things not expressly stated in the text
by Dumby, do you mean dumbledore?
I suspected that Dumbledore extended his life with the elixer of life thanks to Nicholas Flemel.
_"Albus expects to hear cheers, but here's booze instead!"_
Everything is more entertaining with automatic subtitles, even Harry Potter videos! 😆
Lool
🍻 And there was much rejoycing!🍻
Imagine naming your kid 'Scorpius' and they don't turn out to be a bad guy.
LOL!! Imagine being named Albus Severus Potter and not be treated like royalty at school.
@This Guy Johnathanous... Thanous... Thanos...
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
haha..all I can think of when I hear the name Scorpius is that leather wearing gimp nemesis from Farscape (who was actually pretty cool).
I've literally never met a younger person called Adolf. Lots of old people (born up to '45), but after that, the name was pretty much eradicated. You could call it an unspoken law that the name is simply illegal.
Over the last 7 years, there were a confirmed 130 newborns in Germany named Adolf. That's about 19 per year, and practically nothing. And I suppose that most of these parents are into really weird political scenes. This name has a really bad stigma, and shouldn'T be allowed. But well, there are also parents that call their kids Steißbein or Aldi.
"I am Voldemort's daughter"
In that moment, I recalled Rowling saying Voldemort could not have children and from then on didn't really believe much of what she has said in Twitter
Wasn't this written by someone else though
Ben it was co-written between Rowling and two others, but primarily, it was mainly Rowling
@@katelyn_7509 No, it was ghostwritten by the two guys. Rowling didn't do shit
Reese's Cup ohhhhhh well that makes sense lol
Pretty sure Voldemort is incapable of having children.... Y'know... Because of his CHARACTER ORIGINS! Cursed Child is a very awesome time travel book but a terrible HP book.
I got to see this monstrosity on the stage, and let me tell you, if it weren't for the writing this would have been the best play I've ever seen. The costuming, the choreo, and the set were all so well made I almost forgot the writing sucked. When they revealed all of Delphi's writing, I actually gasped since it covered the walls and floors of the entire theatre. The train scene was so good. They used revolving floors and lots of stairs throughout the play and it was so beautifully made. The costumes were amazing as well. I cannot rave about the play enough. I just wish the writing didn't destroy the whole thing.
completely agree!
That writing scene would go so hard, I'm imagining how cool and creepy that would look.
"Madame Hooch is still alive apparently" absolutely killed me
Quidditch keeps you fit!
I used to think people only hated the Cursed Child because a black woman was cast to play Hermione.
But then I read Harry Potter and realised this is pretty much just a rushed fanfiction
Honestly, The thing that actually pissed most people off is JK Rowling decided to go ahead and talk about making the Cursed Child cannon, meaning that this fanfic of a play is possibly now part of the full HP story.
@@luc751 Its a *stage play*. Next time Hermione could be a dude. The actors change constantly. You're shooting for stars and hitting the moon, you fucking dingus.
@@luc751 it was never said that hermione is white

@@thamys2106 NO

@@thamys2106 I'm not surprised that someone like you commented this😂
Big Potterhead here (read/write fanfiction etc.). I'd AVOIDED The Cursed Child specifically to avoid tarnishing in any way my appreciation for the originals. And I'm glad I didn't read/watch it now. Hearing your summary and analysis make me think that, a few years earlier, this would have killed my continuing fascination with the series.
Your bit at the end analysing what a "Proper Harry Potter story" consists of is spot on. I've read far too many fan-mad stories which, while executed at the low-level well enough, they focus on the Harry Potter stuff and don't build their own mysteries into the world. Meanwhile there's a 1+ million word-count fanfiction (Prince of the Dark Kingdom), which has endless mystery and could quite honestly have been made into its own series outside of Harry Potter.
I'll just pretend that the last book is Harry Potter and the deathly hallows
Cuz it is 😉
It really is, but fans were desperate for a new book, so Rowling made a pile of shit that diehards will eat up. True fans hate her for this, but she does not care. She wants money. So she panders to minorities too.
Kristers Feldmanis jk Rowling didn’t write the cursed child though
@@floraknight8966 She participated in the writing process.
And not "Fantastic Beasts: The Cash Cow" or "The Play Whose Name Shall Not Be Spoken".
I just pretend it doesn't exist.
SAME
Carrie Wingo Yeah me too, it just feels sooo wrong to try to keep this as cannon in my mind
Yeah I don't like the kids thing it just doesn't feel like harry potter anymore
it does exist. Just like all the other fanfiction ;)
+ChilliAndGold I read fanfictions way better than this, actually good written btw. This fanfiction was bad really bad and the author gained money...
Just read the book, it's been gathering dust on my shelf for the last 4 years since I was in no hurry.
I've read way better fan fiction, plot wise.
I did like Scorpius somewhat as a character, and that he and Albus became friends and they were sorted into slytherin together. That's about it.
Ok, I completely agree with this video
The cursed child has an incredibly poor story, but I saw it on stage 3 years ago and it is incredible - the spells, everything. If you ignore the story while watching it, you may actually really enjoy it
Written before watching:
Although flawed, I enjoy the book, HOWEVER I refuse to believe that Cedric, a HUFFLEPUFF would become a death eater because he was humiliated. No.
I think the idea of a Hufflepuff death eater is interesting, because there's just no reason all of them should be slytherin. Cedric personally though, I agree it just doesn't fit and feels like it's out of left field.
@@lemortedbrian6070 I just find it hard to believe that all of them are from one house, I'm not saying that most of them aren't from Slytherin.
To talk books, JKR signed onto the Cursed Child where Digory a hufflepuff helped VoldyTort pretty handidly, and Regulus and Snape are heros while Pettigrew is a Gryffindor. Not to mention the younger Greengrass I believe helped the Hogwarts resistance.
The lore of Slytherin himself I know less about, but I vauegly recall he made these choices during the persecution of wizards.
I'm Not saying he was right, or that all Slytherins are misunderstood. I simply don't think that all of them are the same.
he WHAT?
@@lemortedbrian6070 What people seem to forget about the Death Eaters is that they are not simply supporters of Voldemort. The Death Eaters form a secret society founded by Voldemort. So on one hand you need to have the mentioned attributes to qualify for the job AND people also forget that you cannot simply declare yourself a Death Eater. You have to be accepted into their ranks by Voldemort.
Then again Wormtail is a non-Slytherin Death Eater.
Anyways we will never find out if Cedric would turn to the evil side since Time Turners work according to the Novikov self-consistency principle and the premise of The Cursed Child is rubbish to begin with. But hey. Good effort from the writers. Keep up the work... at least that's what I read into JKR notion about the piece.
Me ToO
'The Secret Daughter of Voldemort' is where this completely lost me.
SPOILERS!!!!
Actually, that part makes sense. I mean, why wouldn't he have fathered a child? Bellatrix was all over him. The lack of backstory for the girl is very jarring, though. No, the girl is not the problem with the story. The biggest problem is the revisits of characters who we DID NOT need to revisit. Those are the "fan fic" parts. The "let's save Diggory" and "Voldemort's daughter" parts are actually quite good. They just really needed to cut out frigging Hagrid, Snape, Dumbledore and Cedric himself. They were so not needed for the story. Completely superfluous and stupid. We didn't need the bit where they tell Cedric that his father was proud of him (gag) or where they tell Snape how things went in the other timeline so he feels appreciated (bleurgh). No no no. And don't get me started on the last Hagrid scene which completely ruined the incredibly powerful part where Harry sees his parents die.
Ugh..
Because the love potion he was born under makes it impossible for him to experience real love, the only motivation he would've had to take time out of his EVIL PLAN OF EVIL to do the do with you know who?
or was that sarcasm, cause I can't distinguish internet sarcasm
When the Deathly Hallows Part 1 gets a re-release, they can add a screaming baby in the background in the Malfoy Manor scene and subsequently have Bellatrix saying "WILL YOU SHUT UP YOU STUPID BABY??!!!!!" At least it will make Delphi existing feasible XD.
Madelyn Taylor Makes sense that he'd be arrogant enough to want to create a mini Voldemort.
The problem is that time turners just go back a couple of hours and using it you can't actually Change anything because it already happened, you're just going through the motions like harry casting the patronus at the end of PoA "I know I could do it because I had already done it" there is a reason that nearly every fanfiction that has long term time travel uses unknown magical phenomenon or cosmic entities like death or fate etc. : Its more realistic
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I was say this! That's why I loved PoA!
The trolley witch was the point when I realized I was, in fact, reading bad harry potter fanfiction, and that honestly made the entire thing a whole lot more enjoyable.
I can't believe J.K Rowling allowed this book to go on, it's just an awful way to end a great book series.
My problems:
a) Harry is described so egoistic, arrogant, and a boastful hero
b) There is no bonding between the characters
c) Hermoine is so not like herself
d) The weird moments just not gr8
e) Cedric; a death eater....like really...gosh
f)
I refuse to believe Voldemort had a child
g) The writers didn't even read the previous books...how awful !!
h) We are shown nothing abt hogwarts
The play was awful
I liked the play but the story was.... Questionable
@@dinodude367isyes5 Well, yeah the play sequence made me up a bit. But let's be real, from Emma Watson to....??, Rupert Grint to...??, and Daniel Radcliffe to...?? No matter how good this play was, it can never match an unedited part of any of the previous 8 films.
Well, in the books Harry is arrogant as well, so it doesn't bother me that much. Harry isn't the real hero in books. Most of the times he's just lucky or winning because he has knowledgeable friends, but alone? He's nothing.
@@Raattchen Well, he was a teen that time and no one expected him to be a hero, and he made friends that would help him on the quest of defeating Voldemort. Plus, he was never arrogant and especially never told anyone that he wished thou wouldn't have existed. He was brave and never showed off.
@@magicalambientmusic1621 If there is anyone that would cast a love potion on the most uhmm... _beautiful_ person on land, its probably the second most uhmm... _beautiful_ person on earth. Well, sounds like a plausible answer, give yer that. And if u didnt get it, I was being sarcastic about the supposed beauty of YouKnowWho and Bellatrix Lestrange.
I've read better FanFiction. Literally.
Hickorydaisy I've written better fan- fiction than this.
Seriously!
Paige Arnol Same.
A Very Potter Musical trilogy did it better
after i finished The Cursed Child the day after it came out, i went and read My Immortal for the first time and I legitimately liked it more than cursed child.
One name: Liepert Norman
man, i forgot so much of this story that i was starting to wonder "was it really that bad??" and then every time you said something that made me remember a part of it it just made me cringe because YES. IT REALLY WAS THAT BAD.
Nothing against the actress, I am sure she is very talented. But I just cannot see her as Hermione. As for the book, I have to say I was pretty disappointed.
i didnt hate the book. but i did hate that i paid for it. it feels like fan fic that i should be able to read free on deviantart or something...
This is so accurate
void puppy its a script not a book. so what the hell did you expect?
lloydy woydy i expected harry potter in script form?
i certainly wasnt expecting fan fic and i dont understand how you are imying i should have..
I agree except I have read MUCH better fanfics. It's actually quite sad.
Between Giggles haha yeah
My opinion on went wrong in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child:
Everything.
no
@@hyoroemonmeto6874 Yes, it is. Also so why are you here just to piss off people who hate this book and force your opinion to them? If you have different opinion don't watch this video, that's all.

Hyoroemon Meto yes
“There are times i wish you werent my dad”
“Well there are times i wish you werent my son”
This is almost word-for-word taken from the live action Cat in The Hat
it real harry potter will never said that
I can relate with this so well. I also remember literally growing up with the Potter franchise. I felt the thrill of waiting for the next book to come out and wondering how the story will go. And I had the same thrill when I realized that a new book was out. It really really disappointed me when I read the book. I felt really sad.
Harry...tells... his son... he wishes.... he'd never been...born...?
What?
Edit: holy sh*t this has 4000 likes... ya'll the real MVPs 💯 🙌 👏
Yeah this makes literally no sense
I was gonna make a joke about Voldemort can take care of it but deathly Hallows
That's not really how Harry would act like. Yeah, he could be a jerk to Ron and Hermione, but he wouldn't say something like THAT
Just makes no sense.
Yeah basically
i just wish it will end with hermione putting the newspaper down and saying to Harry and Ron "what a stupid story from Rita Skeeter"
YESSS
Agreed
This is a really good idea haha
Everyone would like that
That would honestly make it all worth it because then you can go back knowing it was parody.
The biggest gripe I have is that it makes no sense for either of the main characters to be in Slytherin. Albus isn't cunning or ambitious, and Scorpius just wants to make friends and keep his head down. It's clear that Albus is only put in Slytherin for the drama.
So what's a better solution? Put both of them in Hufflepuff. Not only is it more accurate to their characters, but the story can still have the "failing your family's/society's expectations" thing because Hufflepuff is one of the more irrelevant houses, so Albus is becoming a disappointment not by being in Slytherin, but by being in a house so devoid of excitement and drama that he's a disappointment anyways.
Honestly would’ve been great to see Albus become a Ravenclaw. They’re canonically full of bullies who maliciously targeted Luna for years, and attention-seeking characters like Quirrell and Lockhart came from there too. They never really got any heroic characters except for Luna and Flitwick, and both of them were kinda overshadowed even then.
It would also show a nice change in priorities from Harry to Albus. Albus would hope to escape fame unlike most Ravenclaws. He would seek true wisdom and knowledge rather than glory or justice. It would even start things up for Albus to be kinda dark-leaning, as Ravenclaw House has produced the second highest number of dark wizards.
Scorpius himself could’ve been a great Hufflepuff. And the two low-attention Houses could’ve been in the spotlight.
Things I'm okay with. Albus being in Slytherin....thats it.
And everything to do with Scorpius. He's an adorkable sweetheart. That's IT.
and Scorpius being a cookie
Well, I'm not... One thing that most people don't understand, what make someone a Slytherin is not wether the person evil, cunning, self-preservation or any other personalities traits, what make a Slytherin is when that person is convince that magic is only for people born with magical blood (pure blood).. that's why Salazar Slytherin create Slytherin house... So how can Albus, whom grown with Hermione as an aunt think like that...
@@scorpiongurlz89 If you are a muggle born, you aint going in Slytherin, however thats because Salazar banned it.
But Slytherins can have somewhat differing views on blood purity and magic.
@@lil_weasel219 Why would a muggle born think magic is only for a pure blood?
And if you talking about Snape and Slughorn. Snape give an exception for Lily cause he's in love with her, he's still insulted other muggle born and he started changing after Lily died. We didn't know anything about Slughorn in his student year so I can't say anything about that, but even when he told Harry that he's not prejudiced toward muggle born, even Harry think that Slughorn, and I quote "much too surprised that a Muggle-born should make a good witch."
I don't know why Cedric had to be a big part of this story.
He's dead. Let him rest. Also, he wasn't a super important character, so, why him?
he wasnt even in the previous books.
I would have better understand trying to save Sirius (Who was almost Harry's father), Dumbledore (Who could have lived if it wasn't for the curse on the ring), Fred (Who had no real reason to die), Snape (Even though I think he would have preferred to simply die as he did) or even Lupin and Nimphadora, But Cedric? It's like...Why? Not even the fans complained about it and it didn't even felt as "too much" (Unlike the rest of the characters I mentioned). So again...Why?
Eduardo F Saving Fred would have made the most sense as it wouldn’t affect the timeline as much and that is his uncle after all🤷🏻♀️
Why couldn’t they just bring back Lupin and have a whole book about of him making wity quotes
@@gamingguycarson1799 I'd buy that
Actually would've been interesting if Albus just didn't enjoy Hogwarts, or magic in general, with the attention of being a hero's son and the unnecessary judgement he got from being unwillingly placed in Slytherin, and decided to renounce his wizardry roots, and live his life as a muggle - go to normal schools etc etc (and maybe just learn the basics of magic just so he can keep it in check and not lose control of it).
It would have been an interesting twist - the son of Harry "the boy who lived" Potter and Ginny "badass prodigy" Weasley, who was named after 2 talented wizards, Albus and Severus, wants to be an ordinary muggle. He wants to single himself out, not have great expectations placed on him.
It could've been a nice parallel to Harry, a kid whose whole life was turned around by magic. Albus' life could be turned around by just the same way but by living as a muggle. He would make friends at normal muggle school (he and Scorpius can still be penpals or something), he won't be sorted into houses, and people won't expect greatness from him. He'd be him. Not as The Chosen One's son. But as Al, a kid who likes science and math, a kid who likes playing soccer, a kid who'd rather have technology solve his problems than wands. A kid who likes shitposting memes on reddit.
But i guess time travel is fine too
I'm surprised that McGonagall didn't retire the moment she found out that the Potter, Weasley and Granger family lines merged together and the kids were heading thier way to Hogwarts about 11 years after the first of the kids was born.
She gets an owl with a letter announcing the birth of James Sirius and she thinks: "... I feared this day would come..."

Albus being in slytherin was so dumb. He literally shows none of the qualities that make someone a slytherin. He’s not ambitious or power hungry and he doesn’t have any of voldemorts abilities like Harry did.
he is more ravenclew but not slytherin if you saw 19 years later scenes in the movies he is kind and scary and feel love by his dad
I know this is an old video but it is exactly what I needed to see right now - a humorous and spot-on critique of the screenplay from a not-obsessed fan. Bravo. Thank you for articulating so many of the issues I had with this work. The unsatisfying character development, the inconsistent time-travel rules, the missed opportunities... nearly everything you pointed out was something that I noticed reading it, but you put your finger on it better than I could in a single reading. And your final point, about the books being mysteries rather than fantasy, is literally the same realization I recently had while re-reading them as an adult. In truth, I think fantasy is not so much a genre as a setting. All good fantasy (and sci-fi) stories are at their core good stories, but wrapped in a unique and interesting setting that takes us out of our ordinary world and presents a sandbox with nearly infinite opportunities for the author to create and invent. The world of Harry Potter is delightfully whimsical, romantic, surprising, and humorous. But what draws me in is the story, the characters, the intrigue and mystery, and the moral lessons. This screenplay lifted the magical setting from the books, but none of the other narrative qualities that I associate with the original series.
I think to blame the problem on the advertising is generous to a fault. As another "retired" Potterhead who apparently lives under a rock, I only just discovered that this play existed, after indulging in some nostalgia now that my oldest kid is reading the books for the first time. I never saw any advertisements or trailers. I got a paperback copy and could immediately tell from the cover that it fell somewhere between fanfiction and a reboot. So my expectations were low...but not low enough. I really wanted to like it. I really did like parts of it. A few, very short parts. But the problems with the story overall got so bad I was cringing by the end of the second act.
A few additional problems you neglected to mention: the Polyjuice potion the kids manage to brew on the same day they jumped off the train. I think book 2 clearly established that Polyjuice potion takes several months to brew, and requires a slew of hard to find ingredients. That was a really hard plot hole to overlook. I also thought the prophetic dreams were a bit of a mcguffin, and Harry's scar hurting during the (original) timeline where Voldemort is still dead (supposedly because spacetime ruptures were imminent? I guess?) seems to defy the previously established rules about the severing of their connection in book 7.
I also thought the changing timelines were extremely confusing. The constant back and forth; the scenes between time jumps with the parents running around trying to find, fix, discipline, or rescue the children while also fretting about Voldemort, who, let's remind ourselves, is still dead; the lack of clarity about whether previous scenes had still happened after subsequent jaunts into the past; and confusion about, for example, what would have happened to the original Hermione and Ron, had the dark fascist parallel universe versions of them managed to make it back to the original universe. (Would there have been 2 of each of them? Would one version of them have ceased to exist? Which one? Is it a parallel universe that the boys are travelling between? Or are they actually changing the present and thereby killing off and reanimating characters?) And how is it that no time paradoxes are generated by all this clambering around in the spacetime continuum? Also, the whole Voldemort's child thing, strains credulity. Even the proliferation about the rumor about Scorpius strains credulity. But even with Delphi, when exactly was Bellatrix supposed to have been pregnant and given birth? Some time during book 7? Wasn't she busy running around doing Death Eater activities throughout that year? Wasn't she torturing Hermione at Malfoy Manor shortly before the Battle of Hogwarts? You can't just insert a pregnancy and birth into all that without seriously fudging with the original story. I could go on but really I just gave up trying to explain things pretty early on and decided to treat it like a piece of fan fiction rather than part of the canon.
Possibly most disappointing is the failure of Albus and Harry to ever really figure out the problems in their relationship - Albus never gets that insight into his dad's past that could have been so poignant had it been explored in scenes like first Triwizard task, and Harry never figures out that the "black cloud" around Albus, which portrait-Dumbledore also hints at, is the fog of Harry's own legacy, and both his and Albus' inability to see each other through it. I kept waiting for that scene where either of them gets some insight into the other, I was hoping for a heart-wrenching moment of father-son connection, and I never got it. We get it with Harry and Dumbledore, but Harry fails to make the same bridge with his own son. It's disapointing to the point of tragic. It feels like the only character that really grows somewhat authentically is Scorpius, due to his experiences in the Voldemort-run world, which at least affords him an opportunity to do some soul-searching. But disapointingly, Albus misses out on this adventure because he's been wiped from existence (which also doesn't make a lot of sense, again, because the time travel rules are clumsily and inconsistently hinted at but never really made explicit or even clear).
Well you've probably long since moved on from this video but I appreciate the satisfying critique and the opportunity to rant in agreement. I should have remembered the lesson I learned from the movies: JK Rowling's standards for the third-party-generated Potter- lore to which she gives her blessing, are far, far lower than the ones she holds herself to when she's actually writing.

There is only one thing (well... two) about this that I even remotely like: Draco seems to be a decent-ish person that learned from his mistakes and Scorpius is a decent child.
Edit: also there is a point I wanted to expand upon: I am _really_ not fond of people comparing this to fanfiction because fanfiction is the baseline for bad writing (like come on, no other amateur writing gets as much hate and contempt as fanfics) but in this case, I think it's an excellent comparison, because Cursed Child _is_ a fanfiction in that it wasn't written by the original author, but there is one thing that 95% of fanfiction, bad or not, have, and this didn't: I don't think the authors put much love and passion into the work. In general, people write fanfiction because they love and care for the canon; sometimes they try to fix plotholes, sometimes they rewrite the whole thing, sometimes they merely expand on the universe, but they almost always do so because they genuinely love what was given to them, and it shows no matter how bad the writing is (and, in spite of all her flaws, I think Rowling understands this).
I don't feel it from Cursed Child. I don't think they cared like fans do, because I don't think they _are_ fans to begin with. And that's not to insult or demean the authors; I just don't think it was a good fit.

@@grandpaseal793 it literally completely ruins the "mudblood" racism that is shown throughout the books.
Hermione's struggles with being a "mudblood" allowed white children who identified with her to see a form of racism and learn how it hurts.
You make her black and now shes less identifiable to the white kids who could learn shit from it and she likely already would have had to deal with racism anyway so this is just an extra helping of it.
I can't even express how wrong the whole 'i wish you weren't my son' thing was. Harry's character would never say that having suffered through an awful childhood where all he wanted was a family of his own.
Yeah I wish I never read the cursed child i try to forget there’s no way Rowling wrote this !
Then I´m glad I never did.
I know I wanted to bash my head into a wall at that part
Modern children these days...
absolute agreed. that's what i thought
I saw live a few years ago having not read the script. The staging and the way they adapted magic to the medium of theater was super well-done. I definitely was most engaged during the first part. At the end of the 1st part there are dementors everywhere and it’s so spooky and when you come back for part 2, all the ushers are wearing death eater uniforms (they wore Hogwarts uniforms for part 1) and they’re wishing you “Happy Voldemort Day!” which was a lot of fun. But part 2 just relies so heavily on what had already happened in the books rather than actually creating a NEW story about the kids doing their own things. I loved the kids characters and which they had had a chance to have their own story rather than keep living in their parents’ shadows.
Title: what went wrong with the cursed child.
Ans - 'Everything'
I like the idea of Harry’s kid being best friends with draco’s kid but the plot sucked just saying 🧍♂️
ikr that actually has some potential to be something.
I also liked how Albus became a slytherin.
@@H_WLL Yeah, that was pretty cool.
@Noah Avshalom in my story, Albus is secretly living up to his dad, but only Rose, Scorpius, (and a new character of my own invention) Lucas Flint know he keeps getting into high jinx and mysteries to solve, unbeknownst to anyone, he’s teased by the school for being the ‘Slytherin Squib’ in his first and second year, because he has James Sirius’s old wand, and and in third and fourth for being a Potter in Slytherin, and is now named the ‘Cursed Child’ by the entirety of the school, except his friends and family.
@@H_WLL I didn’t like it cause it didn’t make any sense. His whole family was in Gryffindor. And before you say “Sirius was a Gryffindor and his family was in Slytherin”, his family was evil, and Sirius was not.
what went wrong with the cursed child? J. K. didn't fucking write it.
Yea but George Lucas directed the prequels, and look how that turned out.
That's really not a fair comparison-the gap between movies and books is huge where creative voice is concerned.
jenova313 Yes but it is still the same concept. George Lucas was the creator of the original Star Wars, and then years later when he revisited it he produced something very sub-par. He had total control, just like Rowling did when she created her stories.
NukeDetonator That's giving George too much credit-J.K. Rowling was almost completely, solely responsible for Harry Potter. George had large teams of people helping him bring his vision to screen, and reigning in his wilder ideas. At no point did Rowling have this, and her books still came out excellent.
jenova313 Well during the process of the prequels he had full say, but for originals you are correct.
I think this could have worked a lot better if Delphi was just a villain in present day. Like, she's trying to build a Time Turner and Albus & Co have to prevent her from succeeding. The whole thing could happen during Albus's fourth year (maybe Delphi is at Hogwarts). It could even be called "Albus Potter and the Cursed Child."
You mean like Delphi being a teacher in Hogwarts? She's too old to be a student. It'd be interesting to know who raised her. But i'm with you, that would be better or at least not so convoluted.
@@luiscruz5555 She could be someone who frequents Hogsmead or Nocturne Alley. Albus & Scorpious could investigate her during their breaks from school, or even try to break out of school during term.

I remember the specific moment where the rose tinted glasses I was reading this book with, when I was like 10, shattered. When Harry was pretending to BE Voldemort, all I could think while reading that scene was “This is so incredibly stupid and there is no way that this would ever work, also Voldemort has no hair to do a polyjuice potion for and any illusion less than that would give away the whole game in a single second.” And then IT WORKED and the whole book just lost all appeal to me.
Wow! This is the first time I heard someone express my exact feelings about the book series and its place in my life. I'm so comforted to know that I'm not alone! I retired after book seven and the writing hold a special place in my life, but I now have a life that doesn't include Harry and company. Very cool that you shared that too.
His scar hurts... But it hurt because he had a part of voldemort in him.
That part was REMOVED. By the elder wand.
So this just ignores all canon.
Do we really need to talk about canon with this considering Hermione changed her skin color in between canon and this, apparently?
The book neve mentioned her skin color? Besides JK and Emma approved....
I mean. To be fair, i don't really care what skin color a person it as long as they have skill to pull off whatever they are doing. It's just bugging me because of continuity problems. And yes, in the book covers she IS depicted she is shown with white skin. I mean, it's not much of a problem as much as it is a small nit pick. Really. The story itself is not that great (in my opinion).
Arcaan P Story wise it isn’t continuity problematic. The actors are merely visuals for the story. What is written down is the canon. Although I have trouble actually considering Cursed Child to be canon. Consider the actors being drastically different looking as something of a real life art style change. Look at Cortana throughout the Halo series as an example; it’s always her, but her look changes dramatically and once you add in the Anniversary versions of games you can’t even use the excuse she’s changing her appearance; she merely looks different based on the artists that time around.
Spring Day Is Not Today I dunno how long it has been since you read the books but she is very often described as a pale girl with auburn hair. And yes, JK and Emma approved...because what the hell else were they supposed to do? They'd get lynched on social media if they didn't approve. Mind you, maybe they really didn't mind but regardless of if it bothered them or not, in our modern society they just had to say that they approved, theres no other real choice if you wanna keep your career.
I also noticed that at the end of Deathly Hallows, Rowling said "His scar never bothered him again"... but in Cursed Child...
Maybe he was into it.
to be fair, he said that in what would be albus's first year, his scar starts hurting years after that.
She said his scar hadn't pained him in nineteen years. She actually didn't say anything about the future. It's still plenty consistent, if a bit dumb.

Black Hermione is not cannon. It is the magic of theatre that means that Hermione is black (in theatre, actors can play characters intended to be a different sex/race/age to themselves). Hermione is never described as black in the books (when other characters like Kingsley and Dean Thomas are) and in a concept picture drawn by JK Rowling herself, Hermione is white, not black. I have no idea why people suddenly think that because an actress playing Hermione is black, that means that the actual character is canonically black. Heck, JK herself hasn't said black Hermione is cannon, only said that people can see what they want her to be.
Roger Melly THE CURSED CHILD IS NOT WRITTEN BY JKR!!!!!!!!!!

Scorpius.
Same he's the whole reason I continued reading the book.
I'm gonna be a bit more generous and say Slytherin Albus could've been fun (the problem with skipping year one is that he now cannot get over that plot point in a timely manner without it being dropped entirely), the apocalypse timeline was cool as a bit of what-if conjecture that needed a better cause (in a non-canon work that didn't have to follow the time turner rules, I'd say that should've been the entire middle, maybe with Albus slowly disappearing or something so that we can pretend Scorpius isn't the only good character) and... that's it.

A cursed image is now in my head. More cursed than any child could ever be.
The very notion of Voldemort having a child in case he died goes against his entire character and motivation towards everything he's ever done. No matter how you spin it, Voldemort doesn't have back-up plans in case he dies because he believes he can _never_ die. The Horcruxes were to ensure he never truly died, that was it. Even when he discovered Harry was hunting the Horcruxes, he kept telling himself that Harry would never find and destroy all of them, and his first thought wouldn't be _"I better impregnate Bellatrix so my child could keep my memory alive and possibly go back in time to prevent my possible death"_ because HE WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER THE NOTION THAT HE _MIGHT_ DIE
Ex👏act👏ly👏
Didn't he supposedly father her to prove to the other death eaters that he was still fully human or something? (a stupid reason in any case)
There's also the thing that he himself being alive is what mattered to him. The idea that he'd care about someone else keeping his memory alive is vomitous.
The idea of Voldemort having offspring is as ridiculous as the idea of Palpatine having offspring.

The most unrealistic thing about this is that Albus didn’t try to unalive himself after second year.
Rose´s character was completelly wrong. There is no way a child of Hermione and Ron would be so mean and clasist as to ignore and be rude to her own COUSIN that way. The only time the Weasleys did something similar was to Percy, but they were at the beguinning of a war and things were a bit tense. Rose declared war against James because he was sorted to Slythering. Really? After the last book? After reading about the redemption of Snape, Regulus, Slughorn and Malfoy? We still must believe Slythering house is all evil and dark? Shame on you "writers"
You are so right. The only thing I can think about it is that the "writers" thought that, just like Ron, Rose would hate so much a Malfoy, and that just like Hermione, Rose would hate a bad student-emo kid like Albus.
It doesn't make aaaany sense anyways, for me this piece of shit isn't canon.

While Harry not be a great Dad at times bugged me I also understand that it happens, as an abused child who is now and adult and parent I understand that sometimes stupid things are said in frustration and anger no matter how hard you try to be a better parent/person.
What really got me was how horrible Rose Weasley was, I don't like Ron very much and I don't think he would have changed much in terms of disliking Malfoys or Slytherins but I am certain that Hermione would never ever ever stand for the way their daughter was behaving, she was a 100% bitch for no reason whatsoever
