Harry Potter Fans discussion

I got my book this morning, just after it came out and I am already almost half way done. I am liking it, but it's just not quite the same as the original Harry Potter books.*Slight spoiler alert* For example I thought the Pumpkin Pasty grenades were incredibly odd, along with the clawed trolley witch. What do you think so far??

Well, as its a script and JK only wrote the story, not the actual script, it wouldn't be the same, but I agree. Pasty Pumpkin grenades?!

The trolley witch made my heart jump and the whole thing with what's her face is really scary. Well it scared me because I didn't expect that.

I mean I like it but it just doesn't seem like Harry Potter.

Especially Ron. So out of character!

Yeah, totally!

I actually loved it.

Yah! That's good!

Yeah I thought Ron seemed a little different too.

He is SO different ARG!

Yeah your not the only one!

Wait wait.... CEDRIC??!?!??!

Cedric Diggory is back?


Heh sorry.

He's WHAT? Is this in the cursed child or what? I'm confused cause I read it and I don't remember that...

They didn't actually brong him back, only tried... Right??

Yeah I agree. I thought the Trolley Witch was odd too, it just seemed a little out of place I guess. I don't really know how to explain...

Omg! Well at least they tried to get Cedric back in Cursed Child! I soo wish he did come alive!

Have you started it Aarifa?

No. I wanted to reread the series and then read the new one. But now I regret doing it cuz its taking soooo long!!! Ugh.

Ok. Well going to bed now. See you tomorrow sometime!

BTW I DO have the book. As my profile picture shows.

Night!

Yeah. What time is it in your area?

Actually don't tell me about Cedric. I'm going to read it myself. ;-)

It's almost 9...

Good night! (:

**SPOILER ALERT**

I give the book a 'C'. It was 'meh' for me. It started out interesting, I do like Scorpius, especially, he's goofy in a fun sort of way, but as soon as it doubled back into the same narrative from the original series the story kind of lost me. I was hoping to move forward from that. A mention of it or a small scene or something, that would be OK, but we just spent 7 books and 8 movies in it, I was hoping for some fresh material. Because it wasn't written by Rowling herself most of the characters didn't 'read' like themselves. McGonagall was probably the closest and Snape was the furthest. As much as I liked seeing him play a straight up good guy, he didn't sound like himself. I even tried 'hearing' Alan Rickman's voice and inflection as I read it and it didn't work. Seeing it performed might help a bit but overall I confess I was disappointed. :(

Yeah...I have to agree with some of that...

Same... It was slightly disappointing. I wish JK Rowling would write another one, not some fan. It read a lot like Fanfic (not that there's anything wrong with that; but still...)

Yeah

I was kind of sad about how it was, its not that it wasn't good just that I enjoy J.K. Rowlings writing so much and this wasn't like that.

Plus the story was pretty predictable.

I found it completely unpredictable.

YAY

Aweosme reading expert

I'm reading the cursed child rn, and I love it, but I want to smack both Albus and Scorpius, because of their stupidity. I'm at the part where (view spoiler)[ they both go into the past, and save Cedric, I love Cedric and all, but you can't mess with time like that -_- (hide spoiler)]

I loved cursed child it was awsome, thats not a spoilter just true ^-^

I liked Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It wasn't as good as other Harry Potter books, but it was set in Harry Potter universe, so it's good for me.
Things I liked: I liked that we get to read more about Harry Potter world, I loved Scorpious, I just loved him as character. I also lived how we saw more if Harry and Ginny relationship.

Things I didn't like: I hated how they portrayed Ron. In this book, he only made jokes and looked like he wasn't able to do anything. Harry saying to Albums he wished he wasn't his son. Okay, Harry has a temper, but it's hard to believe that a man who's parents died and didn't have family (first 11 years, after he had Wesleys) would say something like that to his son. I said I liked a book, but it seems little bit unbelievable for Voldemort having a child. I can totally see Bellatrix having child with him, since she was obsessed, but Voldemort wouldn't do anything that wasn't good for him, he didn't know love, so I don't see him thinking his child would want to bring him back, and also he believed he was going to be immortal, si why would he need a child.
Anyway those are my thoughts.
Sorry for bad English.

I agree with Kavy and you, Weasley Girl!

I don't like the part about the trolley lady at all. :(

That part was weird.

I liked it. It's not a bad book but I really missed JKs writing :/
The plot is really nice and if she wants to she can continue it. Buuuut I have a discussion here: anyone else founds that some chars are really different ?
I'm a Slyth member and I've never seen Draco the way they showed up in this book. I just think the old char will never get in an "ok relationship" with Harry, Hermione etc. They changed old fellows

exaclty

That's why I continue to read fanfics. At least the Characters still the same. =/
