Harry Potter And The Cursed Child : Not So Bad After All ?

Harry Potter And The Cursed Child : Not So Bad After All ?

Hi everybody, Mary here.

So, I have finally read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and to be honest, it wasn't was bad as people on social media claimed it to be !

[Warning for spoilers ahead]

Of course, the idea of time traveling and Voldemort's daughter was a bit far-fetched, and many critics were about how Harry was portrayed as a bad father when really, he should have been a good father and see that the stereotypes that existed about he Slytherin house were totally unfounded and that any child can end in any house.

Otherwise, by reading the script, omitting the very dubious parts and how the characters were so stereotypical, the plot itself wasn't bad after all. It was justified, even, and the suspense was held throughout the entire script.

Now, I really wish I had the money to go see it live lmao. But we can dream, right ? We can all dream.

For all of those who wonder what it's all about, basically Albus, Harry's son, is sorted into Slytherin and befriends Scorpius Malfoy. There are rumours he might be the son of Voldemort (poor child didn't deserve this harsh treatment tbh), while Rose Granger-Weasley doesn't like Scorpius at all.

Then he feels like a failure because of the negative stereotypes of the Slytherin house and being the son of the Boy Who Lived (hence Cursed Child). He vents at his dad who vents in return. Harry also sees Amos Diggory who still blames him for Cedric's death (like the kid was 14 give him a break !). Albus then decides with Scorpius to steal the last Time-Turner snatched by the Ministry of Magic, and mess up really badly, visit alternate dimensions, before fixing everything eventually.

But then Amos' niece reveals herself to be Voldemort's daughter and decides to use the two kids for her evil plan, then the adult stop her, the end.

(Tbh there was too much drama around Harry, his guilt and the war, like you could have portrayed his PTSD differently tbh, and there were parts that were definitely ridiculous.)

But was it a good read ? To be honest, I read the whole thing in an hour. But I'm fast, so if you have a couple hours to spare, it's not a bad read tbh.

Okay, that's it for now, I really hope you liked this post and I will see you soon for a new one !

And as usual, our last word : KIDNEYS !
