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.

Treating Cedric like a disposable toy is probably the worst part of the spoilers imho...

Upon further consideration that is pretty awful. "Oh, we'd totally save this guy, except...a worse future happens if he doesn't die, sorry, nothing to be done!" I think the worst part of it is that he seems to get no choice in the matter whatsoever. Does he even know what's going on?

Well, considering that in his alternate reality where he lives, he inexplicably turns into a Death Eater that murders Neville, among other things...he's better off dead, I guess. :/

The Hufflepuff fans are in outrage over this - the only prominent Hufflepuff (aside from Zacharias, but who wants to claim him) and this is the character assassination he gets!

What she did to Cedric is just terrible.
It wasn't enough that he was killed. No, she had to turn him into a Death Eater???

The Hufflepuff fans have every right to be outraged. Hell, everybody should be outraged! Even if you don't like (or are just "meh") on Hufflepuff; this is still insulting.
Not just to Cedric and Hufflepuff: but to our intelligence as well.
