Harry Potter & the Cursed Child

For anyone who's curious, the plot of the play has been discussed in spoilery comments at the following links:

Source 1

Source 2

Source 3 UPDATE: Snitchseeker took down their spoilers as JKR called out another website for doing the same and TPTB have been contacting people to request they don't post any details. *eyeroll*

But never fear, Andrew Sims of Hypable (whom JKR called 'Wormtaily' for betraying the secret, lmao) linked to a cohesive recap of the entire two-part play.

When I first read about this, I thought it was someone trolling, but there's multiple sources? Either there's a conspiracy afoot or it's legit, IDK what to believe!

What kind of crappy fanfic, lmao! A Time-Turner plot, seriously? To save CEDRIC DIGGORY, of all people, wtf?

How shitty that anti-Slytherin prejudice is still going strong to the point that Albus is ostracized for being sorted into Slytherin. :/

Cackling at Ron & Hermione never getting together as a result of the temporal shenanigans, hehe. But I'm pissed that her being single results in her becoming a bitter Hogwarts teacher as opposed to happily married Hermione being the Minister of Magic, the implications there are pretty gross.

I can't even process everything I just read. Wow. JKR should be fired from her own world, just what even.

Then let's just spread the word so that more people here can go read her work. 😍

I also recommend Hogwarts Houses Divided. (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3979062/1/Hogwarts-Houses-Divided) That's what the play should've ripped off, if JKR & co were going to trawl ff.net for inspiration. So much great commentary on the biased house system and the prejudices of the Wizarding World. ♥

ps. it's a gen-fic set in Teddy Lupin's Hogwarts years.

... prejudices of the Wizarding World.

But the wizarding world was *perfect* 19 years later!

Really, it's no wonder that Rowling had to resort to time travel to have problems for Harry & Co. to solve in the play. Because she's probably convinced everything is just hunky-dory post epilogue.
