I will reframe from saying too much at the moment until more folks have read the book, but I have some serious questions regarding the Weasley family, particularly Ron.
Okay, now that a few people have read the book…
I don't have my copy or the library's so I can't refer back without knowing if I read this part wrong or missed something. Okay, so Ron is all the sudden owner of the twin's joke shop, Wizard Wheezes. Maybe I missed this, but is George just never mentioned or acknowledged? This got me a bit worried… did he die at some point and Ron took over? Or was he skimmed over, I missed it and they are co-owners? I am guessing Ron's career as an auror just didn't pan out.

*Phew* Thank you for clearing that up for me. I was getting al little worried about George for a minute. I like the thought of Ron and George coming together not only as brothers and business partners but what would seem to be a mutual respect. Ron always felt like the outsider Weasley, almost in a sad way it seems both him and George come together over Fred to keep the joke shop going and his memory.

Yes! He seemed even more goofy from when he was a kid. and that is saying a lot. Maybe the death of his brother changed him in that way? It's like he was trying to be the cool uncle when he really didn't need to try.

However, in terms of comic relief characters, I was VERY surprised that Scorpius was one of them! It weirded me out at first, then I just kept ignoring it. I hope it works better on stage.


"I think that Rose reacted badly to Scorpius because of the whole Voldemort's son rumour - she'd obviously been aware of it where Albus wasn't. "
Yes I hope that too. ( You know, I really liked the idea of Rose and Scorpius being togather. And she is just thirteen. So, I think she will be matured enough in future)


It's totally your opinion. You can ship whatever you like. I thought their bromance was great but it wasn't on point ( Nico and Will!! Yaaaaa!!! ). But like I said, you can ship whatever!!! ; )



Well, that makes sense....

The wrote: "I think, things among the trio changed which made Harry quite aggressive which may made Albus more full of himself and daring. As a result he was sorted into Gryffindor. ( It's my theory. I don't k..."
Yes, that makes sense, however, I still think that Albus' character may be not well formed. He is reticent about being sorted into Slytherin at the beginning of the play and despite that fact he becomes a Slytherin, I think because that is his true identity. Then, there should have been a too big influence on him to encourage the hat to sort him into the other house. I don't know if I have explained my point properly.
But I like your suggestions though :).

PS: i loveeeeddd scorpius!!!!
