I am NOT a fan of next gen Potter fan fic - mostly because the epilogue showed us their parents hadn't learned a damned thing from the first story cycle and their children were getting ready to repeat the nonsense all over again thanks to them. The only interest I would find in something like this might be if it was a musical with REALLY good songs. I'm not a fan of the Broadway style of singing unless the songs are just so good that the music overcomes that frequently contrived style. Humor usually saves that. In any case, the other reason I might want to see it is IF Rowling actually tries to correct what she did in the epilogue. I came away not liking ANY of the people who survived, except maybe Draco and that's because he didn't say anything so I couldn't condemn him for anything. But if we see the older generation's chickens coming home to roost in the sins of their children, I think I can hitch onto that ride.
However, that having been said, I think there is a contingent of people out there who LOVE next gen fan fic so that may be the audience right there. And for the reasons you mentioned above, it's worth a gamble. If they play it right it could become a Christmas staple across the country and Rowling will be on the way to making her next billion with her morally dubious writing. Gotta keep that machine going...
