Harry Potter Fans discussion

For those of you who have gotten your books so far what do you think of the cursed child??

I envy people who have chance to buy it. I have to wait till 22nd of october (premiere in my country) ;(

I get it at some point today or MAYBE tomorrow. Should I read it? Is it bad? Does it ruin the series?

Wouldn't you read that even if it does?

Maybe? I don't want it to ruin it...but yes. Yes I would

I would, too

I loved it!

Ok then I am definitely gonna read it!

Currently reading it, already on page 109

Wow

I finished reading it a couple of hours ago! I am making a review at the moment which I will post tomorrow. I am still deciding how many stars to give it. Unfortunately, it won't be a very favourable review! :S

I haven't got it yet, but I REALLY want to read it

I just got it! I will read it ASAP, which is as soon as I get home!

I finished reading it a few hours ago. It was good, I guess but I gave it 4/5 stars only because it was good to learn more about what had happened to the old characters. It did not the same AMAZING writing style of the other books. And I personally love lots of details in books and because it was a script it could not have all of the details that I love in Jk Rowling's books. I am sure that it was an amazing play, but as a book, it was not quite worth all the hype.

My mom is driving me to the next town over to get the book today! My town doesn't have a bookstore.

Almost finished. Page 307. Harry is afraid of pigeons! Did you know that?

Nope!

Finished!

I can tell you two of his other fears. The dark and small spaces, those two make sense because of living in a cupboard for 10 years

Finished..awesome start and then somehow it looses steam after act one. Lots been said about it being a play. Somehow the difference seemed trivial to me.

It got much better at part two in my opinion! What with Dephi...

I loved part two as well! I found it really heartbreaking when (view spoiler)[ Harry had to sit whilst his parents were killed by Voldemort and do nothing about it. I think it helped having all of his friends and family there though. I also love how Draco opened up a bit more and let down his walls to Harry and the rest. I think he really needed to do that and he will feel much better about Astorias death now he has friends to talk to (hide spoiler)]

Agreed.

I loved this book so much! I've read it like 10 times already

Who did you like more, Scorpius or Albus

Scorpius

I can't choose!

Im reading Cursed Child for the third time now

Lol. I will read it agqin

I loved this book! I read it twice the day it came out. I've been dying to talk to someone about it, but no one around here has finished it!

I was a theatre major, so that maybe part of why I loved the script format. I felt that it made it faster paced, which i enjoyed because it reminded me more of the first three books, rather than than the last two. It included almost everything I had hoped to hear.

I read it twice the day it came out too :) It was just so good!

I felt that it included a bunch of stuff that people had hoped for in their fanfictions.

Yea

I think that while it had some wonderful moments, and Scorpius was a delight, it didn't hold together well.

Yea

I didn't think HP and the Cursed Child was the best......it was a little eh.....

Ya I agree. Plus the part with the trolley lady was just not Harry Potter.

I'm not too far into it yet. I think the writing could be better; however, it lets me relive the magic a little.

I was really disappointed with this book which I'm gutted about. The story was quite fun but there were so many plot holes and I thought the characterisation of most of them was terrible. I consider it as a fun fan fiction but I don't consider most of it canon. The only things I accept as canon are Scorpius Malfoy and Draco being a good Dad.

Ya I was so disappointed. Especially with the Ron character. He was nothing like J.K. Rowling first wrote him.

I agree with the Ron thing. And I never pictured Albus being like he was!! I think they got lots of characters wrong. And the trolley lady? What was with that??

Albus's character was inconsistent with the books. Even with his only appearing one scene.

Do you think it can be a movie ? There are rumors about Warner turning it into one. Do you think it would be nice ? Maybe better than the book ?

I'd like a movie

Apparently they want to make it a movie trilogy

It depends on there casting and how well they put the scenes together. The Cursed Child I think could be a great movie. But it could also be a disaster.

Yeah

I think its flaws are not medium-based.

A trilogy ? :O
Maybe Julia is right: imagine if the movie is terrible and we have to watch 3 of them? It could ruins HP series =/

yeah totally!!
